C. Tracie, give us the reason why this might have a delay. Reporter well, because nancy pelosi and the democrats say they first want to guarantee that this is going to be a fair and impartial trial in the senate run by republicans, led by Mitch Mcconnell who has already publicly said hes both working with the white house, and that he is not impartial on this so nancy pelosi, using sending over the articles of impeachment, as a bit of a stick to try to get the republicans who are running this trial to cave to some of the democrats demands, to allow witnesses and some of the other demands and requests that they had for this trial.
