"Senate Conservatives Push for Full Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Despite Forecasted Snooze"

A group of Senate Republicans are pushing for a full impeachment trial against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, despite a Democratic majority expected to dismiss the effort. The House voted to impeach Mayorkas, accusing him of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and a "breach of public trust." Senate Republicans are urging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to oppose Democratic efforts to dismiss the trial, but the effort is likely to fail in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office said the trial will begin on Feb. 26, with House impeachment managers presenting the article of impeachment to the Senate.
