Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced plans to dismiss the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, slamming the charges as 'bogus' and lacking legitimacy. Schumer's motion aims to end the Senate trial before it begins, marking a significant move in what could be a historic dismissal of impeachment articles. This decision has faced opposition from several senators, including Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell, who argue that dismissing the charges without a trial would be unprecedented and could reflect poorly on historical legal precedents. Senator Eric Schmitt also objected, emphasizing the novelty of such a dismissal in Senate history.
