The Senate has voted to confirm that the Senate impeachment trial of former President Trump is constitutional, even after he has left office. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell discusses the arguments that were presented by both sides.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was the only GOP senator to change his vote on the constitutionality of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment. He previously voted in favor of GOP Sen. Rand Paul’s recent motion that impeachment after Trump left office is unconstitutional and explains how the presentation by House impeachment managers earned his vote.

In his opening remarks, the lead impeachment prosecutor said the case brought forward by Democrats is based on ‘cold, hard facts.’
