Today, the Senate will begin Donald Trump’s impeachment trial for inciting a violent insurrection against our Capitol.
Listen, I take my responsibility as an impartial juror very seriously, and will hear both sides of the argument today. I took an oath to uphold our Constitution and the rule of law and will live up to my pledge.
