Six Republican senators refuse to sign a letter demanding an impeachment trial for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The letter, signed by 43 GOP senators, aims to prevent the Democrat-controlled chamber from killing off the trial.

Six Republican senators decided against signing a stern letter that was sent to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, demanding an impeachment trial for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas . House Republicans impeached Mayorkas on their second attempt in February, accusing the secretary of ignoring immigration laws and making 'false statements' about the U.S.-Mexico border.

'The letter was not signed by the following six Republican senators: Mitt Romney of Utah Susan Collins of Maine Rand Paul of Kentucky Bill Cassidy of Louisiana Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Tommy Tuberville of Alabama A spokesperson for Cassidy told Newsweek via email that 'Senator Cassidy has been clear on the need to hold a trial,' while citing several social media posts indicating that he was strongly in favor of an impeachment trial.
