Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are “absurd” and that he will “resolve this as quickly as possible.”
As reports circulate that Schumer is readying a motion to dismiss articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, the majority leader suggested to the media on Tuesday that he is looking to “resolve” the matter quickly.
“We’re going to try and resolve this issue as quickly as possible,” Schumer said. “Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements.”
“We’re going to try to resolve this as quickly as possible. As I’ve said in the past, it’s absurd, and there are no charges in the House complaint that rise to the level of impeachment,” Schumer said when asked again. “… we’re going to move forward and resolve this as quickly as possible.”
