WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans on Thursday pressed their campaign to discredit the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry against U.S. President Donald Trump by introducing a U.S. Senate resolution that called the process unfair but said nothing about Trump's conduct in his dealings with Ukraine.
Forty-four of the 53 Republicans in the 100-seat Senate have signed on to the resolution, which urges the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives to hold a formal vote to initiate the impeachment inquiry and give Trump the ability to "confront his accusers" and call his own witnesses, said its lead sponsor, Senator Lindsey Graham.
