Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Donald Trump from the Senate floor saying of the Capitol attack, “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.”

Senator McConnell has not said which way he will vote in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, but as Axios writes, “A McConnell vote to convict would likely open the floodgates for other Republican senators to do the same.”
