Mitch McConnell Satisfied With Second Trump Impeachment: Report
The New York Times reported that the Senate majority leader privately believes the president committed impeachable offenses.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has reportedly told those close to him that he believes President Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses by supporting insurrectionists who violently attacked the U.S. Capitol last week, an incredible shift in thinking as Democrats take steps to remove the president from office.
McConnell has privately indicated he is pleased with the Democrats’ effort, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The president has faced a growing chorus to resign or be removed following the riot in the halls of Congress, which left five people dead.
The senator excoriated the mob just hours after it attacked the Capitol, calling participants “thugs” and saying the chamber would not “bow to lawlessness or intimidation.”
“The United States and the United States Congress have faced down much greater threats than the unhinged crowd we saw today,” he said last Wednesday, just after the riot. “We have never been deterred before and we will not be deterred today. They tried to disrupt our democracy. They failed.”
McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
