Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is facing pressure from Republicans to hold a full impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas when the House sends over the impeachment articles at the end of the month.

“I got to tell you, with the Mayorkas impeachment, you know what Schumer wants to do? He doesn’t even want to have a trial,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Fox News on Sunday. “He doesn’t even want to have senators vote on guilty or not guilty. What he’s trying to do is simply table it, just put it aside.”
