Washington (CNN) Some Democrats are raising concerns about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's statement that he will coordinate closely with the White House on the looming Senate impeachment trial , with one House Democrat saying the Kentucky Republican should recuse himself entirely. "Everything I do during this, I will be coordinating with White House counsel," McConnell said. Trump has repeatedly said he wants witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial. "There are so many moving parts," Daschle said, referring to coordinating the House managers and White House counsel's office and 100 senators, that they had no choice. "That is a complete surrender of the constitutional duties and prerogatives of the Senate, essentially turning them over to the White House," Raskin said.
