Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday morning that a Democratic resolution on impeachment set to be voted on Thursday in the House of Representatives would deny President Trump the “most basic rights of due process.”

From the Senate floor, McConnell (R-Ky.) specifically called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Trump-basher Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, for their impeachment efforts and called it “a bizarre process.”

He described “an impeachment inquiry as about the most solemn and serious process the House of Representatives can embark on,” but said that “instead of setting a high bar, House Democrats seem determined to set a new low.”

The veteran GOP senator labeled Schiff “a de facto special prosecutor” and criticized Pelosi for starting with a press conference rather than a vote in the House.

Schiff’s actions are overshadowing the president’s rights, according to McConnell, who noted that the Democrats refuse to let the president’s lawyer participate in depositions behind closed doors.

“He’s not even required to make all the evidence he obtains public. He alone gets to decide what evidence goes in his report. And the resolution doesn’t even give the president any rights in the public hearing that it requires Chairman Schiff to hold,” the majority leader said.
