De Lima 'frustrated' over delay in impeach proceedings

ML Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima says she is 'frustrated' that the presentation of evidence by the prosecution in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte has been delayed again by the Senate, and has called on Senate President Francis Escudero to 'act on the interests of the Constitution' and not on his self-preservation. The Senate reset the prosecution's presentation of evidence in Duterte's impeachment trial from June 2 to June 11 to focus on further legislative work, according to Escudero.
