- The House voted to impeach Trump on Jan. 13 for “incitement of insurrection" after a violent mob of his supporters breached the U.S. Capitol.
- CBS News first reported on the plan.
What they're saying: "There are discussions about the timeline, yes. We would like to propose so Trump and his team have fair trial," a source familiar with the talks told Axios. "There are questions about due process."
The state of play: It's unclear when in February McConnell wants the trial to begin.
- Senators are currently scheduled to work from their home states the week of Feb. 15.
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has not indicated when she plans to transmit the article of impeachment to the Senate, but many Democrats are hopeful for a speedy trial so they can get back to legislating and focus on Biden's plans.
Between the lines: McConnell, now in the minority, does not have final say on the impeachment trial's schedule.
