US Senate majority leader, McConnell, has reacted to President Trump’s second impeachment – In what may be temporary good news for Trump, the Republican senator rejected Democrats’ bid for Senate’s speedy trial of the president – McConnell’s decision may see Trump serving out his final days while the Senate impeachment trial will continue after his exit.

President Donald Trump may serve out the remainder of his term without being removed despite his second impeachment by the United States’ House of Representatives. This follows the statement by the US Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, rejecting the calls by the Democrats to reconvene the Senate immediately for the president’s trial, CNN reports.

According to the media outfit, McConnell said the Senate won’t return until Tuesday, January 19, implying that President Trump’s impeachment trial won’t begin until Joe Biden takes over the White House.
