Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Friday that he opposes quickly dismissing any articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, suggesting that a Senate trial would be held.

“I know outside pundits are just bringing up, dismiss this thing out of hand and move on, but at the same time that would not afford President Trump the ability to really defend himself. So I think consensus viewpoint literally is we'll take it up in the Senate,” Johnson told KHOW, a Colorado-based radio station, as reported by The Hill.
