On Tuesday, senators became jurors in the latest step toward the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
The senators were sworn in amid questions from some Republicans about the constitutionality of impeaching a president who is already out of office.
The senior senator from Louisiana addressed the controversy and partisanship surrounding the impeachment, among many other issues.
If you’re looking for hints of how Republican Senator Bill Cassidy will vote in the looming impeachment trial, he’s not offering many. Cassidy said the evidence will guide his decision.
“If worst case scenario there’s evidence that the President received an FBI briefing that people were putting out pipe bombs, as they did, and people were organizing violence with the intent to kill people, as they did, that would be one thing, that would be the worst case scenario for the President," Sen. Cassidy said. "If on the other hand there’s testimony that he didn’t know any of this and he was basically you know at a football game a ‘fight, fight, fight’ that’s another set. I’m not going to pre-judge."
