Hillary Clinton weighed in on former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial this week, suggesting in a tweet that if the Senate ultimately votes to acquit him, it will only be because “the jury includes his co-conspirators.”
“If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense,” Clinton, the former secretary of state, tweeted Wednesday morning. “It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.”
Her tweet came before the second day of Trump’s impeachment trial, during which Democratic impeachment managers played never-before-seen footage showing how close rioters came to lawmakers during the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
