It will be a "terrible precedent" for the Democrat-controlled Senate to refuse to hold a trial on the House's articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas , Sen. James Lankford said Wednesday on Newsmax.
However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he is not going to hold a trial, Lankford said. Schumer has referred to the Mayorkas impeachment push being over a policy issue, Lankford said, while disagreeing. The only way there will be a trial is if two Democrats join with Republicans to call for the proceedings, Lankford added, but said he does not expect that to happen.
