The delay in submitting the impeachment articles against President Donald Trump “achieved absolutely nothing,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday.

The House impeached Trump on Dec. 18, 2019, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has held the articles without transmitting them to the Senate, preventing an impeachment trial from starting.
