Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer fired off a partisan shot at Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan for President Trump’s impeachment trial, calling it a “national disgrace” and a “cover-up” of alleged evidence.

On Monday afternoon, McConnell released his plan in a resolution that outlines a fast-paced, two-stage trial in which Democrats and Republicans will each have a total of 24 hours over two days to make their arguments before the Senate.

A potential third stage may allow witnesses to be called or documents presented after Senators have 16 hours to submit written questions through Chief Justice John Roberts.

The plan dictates a short series of long days and nights, but until the agenda is confirmed or amended by Senate leaders in a closed door session late on Tuesday, it is subject to revisions.

If all goes according to plan, Dems could be on the clock for making their case against Trump by 1 pm on Wednesday.

Schumer spoke to reporters as he was about to board a train to Washington, D.C. and said, “[McConnell] doesn’t want to hear any of the evidence and he doesn’t want to hear any new evidence. That’s a cover-up, not a trial.”

“Leader McConnell is going along with President Trump’s cover-up hook, line and sinker,” Schumer continued. “When you look at his resolution, it’s no wonder he delayed it until the last minute. He didn’t want people to study it or know about it.”

Schumer also tweeted his dismay, saying, “Sen. McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses & documents and intent on rushing the trial through …”

After reading his resolution, it’s clear Sen. McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses & documents and intent on rushing the trial through On something as important as impeachment—Sen.

Under this resolution, Senator McConnell is saying he doesn’t want to hear any of the existing evidence, and he doesn’t want to hear any new evidence. A trial with no evidence—no existing record, no witnesses, no documents—isn’t a trial at all. It’s a cover up. pic.twitter.com/NTvChfcnrJ — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 21, 2020

As soon as Senator McConnell offers this resolution, I will be offering amendments to address the many flaws in this deeply unfair proposal and to subpoena the witnesses and documents we have requested. pic.twitter.com/g25Xl8RTmU — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 21, 2020

The McConnell plan does not specifically provide an opportunity for the Trump legal team to ask for a dismissal of the articles against him before Democrats use their allotted time to make their case. However, they might choose to do so on their own initiative.

A total of 51 Senate votes are required for the McConnell plan to be approved. Republicans control 53 seats.

According to the Daily Mail, Tuesday’s timetable for the first official day of the impeachment trial would be …

Tuesday 1 pm: Swearing in of Republican Jim Inhofe who missed being sworn by Chief Justice John Roberts last week

After Inhofe’s swearing in: McConnell has two hours to present his plan on how the trial should proceed

Approximately 3.30 pm: Schumer has two hours to present his plan

By 6pm: The Senate will go into closed session – cameras are switched off, reporters leave, senators debate the proposal

Tuesday evening: The Senate returns to open session to vote on the final rules.

If the McConnell plan is approved and adopted, an expected schedule for trial proceedings would look like this …
