Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday that Republicans haven’t ruled out witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and said it should mirror the one of President Bill Clinton, the last president to be impeached.

“We haven’t ruled out witnesses,” McConnell said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday. “We’ve said, ‘Let’s handle this case just like we did with President Clinton.’ Fair is fair.”
