Utah's Republican Senator Mitt Romney, pictured at the US Capitol on Dec 11, 2020, was the only member of his party to vote to convict Trump in his first impeachment trial. WASHINGTON: Republican lawmakers demonstrated on Sunday that Democrats will have a fight on their hands to convict Donald Trump when the Senate next month opens its first-ever impeachment trial of a former president.
He acknowledged that Trump - who had urged thousands of his supporters to flock to Washington and protest the congressional certification of Biden's victory - "bears some responsibility for what happened." "There are other things we'd rather be working on," including confirming more of Biden's cabinet nominees, he said.But Senator Mitt Romney, the Republicans' 2012 presidential candidate and a frequent Trump critic, told CNN that"the preponderance of legal opinion is that an impeachment trial after a president has left office is constitutional. I believe that's the case.
Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki has said the president"believes that it's up to the Senate and Congress to determine how they will hold the former president accountable."
In this country, I must say party bigger than country. God bless America.
