Impeachment distraction

Scheduled to reconvene tomorrow.

Senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is claiming the federal government was too distracted by president donald trump's impeachment trial to pay attention to the impending coronavirus threat.

The kentucky republican told a conservative radio host today that the virus came up while the government's attention was focused the impeachment trial.
