Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said she was"disturbed" after hearing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other top GOP senators were coordinating the impending impeachment trial with the White House.
"It is fair to say that there is so much uncertainty," Murkowski told KTUU-TV Tuesday, then referencing McConnell's total"coordination" White House comments."And in fairness, when I heard that I was disturbed. To me it means that we have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense, and so I heard what leader McConnell had said, I happened to think that that has further confused the process.
She called for a"full and fair process" which potentially uses former President Bill Clinton's impeachment hearings and trial as a template for Trump's proceedings. "How we will deal with witnesses remains to be seen," she added. Earlier this month she discussed her complaints about how the House impeachment investigation was purely partisan based upon final vote counts - no Republicans voted in favor of either article of impeachment.
