Republican Senators Push for Impeachment Trial of DHS Secretary Mayorkas
• A group of Republican senators, including Mike Lee, are pushing for an impeachment trial for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after he was impeached by the House.
• The House passed two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas for violating laws on immigration and border security.
• Lee's letter to Mitch McConnell says GOP leadership must not allow Schumer to "sweep the Biden administration’s border invasion under the rug."
• Lee and Ted Cruz met with the Senate parliamentarian to argue against tabling the impeachment articles.
• Schumer plans to have Sen. Patty Murray oversee the impeachment trial proceedings beginning Feb. 26.
