Graham told reporters on Wednesday (February 10) that after Trump’s attorneys Bruce Castor and David Schoen presented their views, he discussed with Trump the possible outcome of the impeachment.
Graham told reporters: “I think his team will do better and can do better.” “I emphasized to the president that this case is over. Now wait for the final verdict.”
44 Republican senators, including minority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell from Kentucky), voted against impeachment of Trump on the night of his trial Tuesday (February 9). This shows that the Senate could not reach the 67 votes condemned by Trump. The president’s lawyer said it is unconstitutional to indict a former president.
At the same time, Graham described Trump’s state of mind after seeing lawyers present their arguments, saying the former president did not appear frustrated. Some media organizations cited anonymous sources as saying that Trump was angry with his lawyers on Tuesday.
When asked if he felt Trump was feeling a bit frustrated with this, Graham revealed, “Well, no, nothing special.” “The main point we are talking about is voting. I said 44 people voted. This is not constitutional.”
Six Republican senators voted to impeach Trump, joining the 50 members of the Democratic Senate. Among them, Republican Senator from Louisiana Bill Cassidy (Bill Cassidy) joined the Democratic anti-Trump camp. He said Trump’s lawyers (the debate) looked “chaotic” and “unfocused.”
Cassidy voted to impeach Trump on Tuesday, her first time joining the Democratic field. He said: “They (Trump’s lawyers) talked about a lot of things, but they didn’t talk about the problem at hand.”
The House impeachment manager, led by Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, believes that Trump’s impeachment is constitutional.
Ruskin said, “If you commit a crime in your first year as president, in your second year as president, in your third year as president, and for most of your fourth year as president, that is a crime, but suddenly you can committing a crime in the last weeks of his term without facing any constitutional responsibility at all, this will create a new “January presidential immunity” in relation to the Constitution of the United States of America. “
Regarding the Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment, Graham noted that not all Republicans who voted for the trial will vote for Trump’s conviction.
He said: “I think the vote of innocence can exceed 44 votes.” He added: “I respect Bill. He really is a good senator. He is doing very well here.”
He noted, “People will treat President Trump emotionally,” “I think Bill will be fine. Eventually he will vote with conscience. Let’s wait and see how he will vote.”
