JARRETT: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will pass rules for President Trump's impeachment trial with no negotiation with Democrats. The Democrats wanted a commitment to witnesses and more documents right upfront. But McConnell says he has enough Republican votes to set the rules based on Bill Clinton's 1999 trial. Back then, the question of witnesses was put off until after each side presented its case.</s>SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): We have the votes. Once the impeachment trial has begun, to pass a resolution, essentially, the same, very similar, to the 100 to nothing vote in the Clinton trial, which sets up, as you may recall, what could best be described as a -- maybe a phase one.</s>JARRETT: McConnell says Republicans won't act until they get the articles of impeachment from the house. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now calling for McConnell to immediately publish rules for a Senate trial before she sends over those articles.</s>ROMANS: All right. Our big story this morning, Iran vowed to retaliate and it did. Missile strikes overnight on U.S. bases in neighboring Iraq. The president will speak this morning. Will hostilities cool? Or only get worse?
