Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said Republican and Democratic leadership in the Senate should not weigh in on the pending impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

Collins, who has broken with the White House on issues in the past and is considered a swing vote, told Maine Public Radio on Tuesday that a potential framework for the coming Senate trial could be drawn from the impeachment trial of former President Clinton in the late 1990s.
