Sen. Lankford to Newsmax: 'Running Room' Needed in Mayorkas Impeachment

By Nicole Wells | Wednesday, 10 April 2024 10:37 AM EDT


Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., told Newsmax on Wednesday that the House has pushed back on delivering the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas because there is an advantage to having them delivered at the beginning of the week versus the middle of the week.

"The challenge is when the House actually gives it to the Senate," Lankford said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "Then it sets up an immediate swearing-in, basically, of jurors at that point, and then it shifts over to 24 hours later, when the actual trial begins. That would mean it would start on Thursday afternoon. We know that [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer is going to want to try to end this as quickly as possible. We want more running room in a week. So, if the House sends it over to us on Monday, we pick it up on Tuesday, we've got a week to be able to fight this out, rather than trying to be able to cram it against a weekend and it all disappears in the news."

Lankford added: "We want to be able to keep the focus where the focus should be. That is, number one, there's never been a time in American history any impeachment of any type of any official has just been tabled in the Senate. We've always had a trial, so we want to be able to keep that. Number two is we want to be able to make sure that the American people hear what's actually happening on the border right now, and it doesn't need to be weekend news. It needs to be driving during the week so people can hear it and see it."
