Several Republican Senators have indicated that they will not watch the public phase of the impeachment hearings in the House, slated to start on Nov. 13.

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) told The Hill that he isn’t going to watch the hearings in the House as it “could prejudice my view” when the impeachment articles reach the Senate.
