McConnell, Schumer spar over Trump impeachment 'rules'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Trump impeachment 'rules' he introduced in the Senate are modeled after those from the Clinton impeachment trial.

Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, before Tuesday's debate, said "the McConnell rules seem to be designed by President Trump, for President Trump."

The Senate is expected to work six days a week during the trial, and senators must sit as jurors.

The proceedings could take weeks and easily stretch into February.
