Johnson Delays Mayorkas Impeachment Transmission to Senate

The House will delay delivery of the impeachment articles for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas until next week, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office said, as Senate Republicans try to counter Democratic efforts to quickly dismiss the case.

At a news conference Tuesday, a group of Senate Republicans said they secured the delay as part of their fight to have the Senate hold a full trial. A spokesman for Johnson confirmed the delay in a statement.
