Washington (CNN) House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Sunday criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the Kentucky Republican said he would coordinate with White House counsel on "everything" regarding the looming Senate impeachment trial.

His comments come after the House Judiciary Committee on Friday approved articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump , paving the way for the final House floor vote expected this week. The full House vote will set up the Senate trial, for which senators are now gearing up.

Nadler said for Senate Republican leadership to work with the President during an impeachment trial would be a "subversion of constitutional order."

"The Constitution prescribes a special oath for the senators when they sit as a trial in impeachment. They have to pledge to do impartial justice, and here you have the majority leader of the Senate, in effect, the foreman of the jury, saying they're going to work hand and glove with the defense attorney," Nadler said Sunday during an interview with ABC's "This Week." "Now, that's a violation of the oath they're about to take, and it's a complete subversion of the constitutional scheme."

He added: "I hope...that they will do their duty and will look into this and will see the uncontroverted facts. Remember, these facts are basically uncontroverted."
