Impeachment manager says Republicans privately told her she made a compelling case to convict Trump
but they acquitted him anyway
A House impeachment manager said Republican senators had told her privately that she "made the case" to convict former President Donald Trump, but they still voted to acquit him.
Stacey Plaskett, a Democratic delegate from the Virgin Islands, told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday about interactions she had with unnamed Republican senators during Trump's second impeachment trial last week.
"I had senators, even after we presented, who stopped me in the hallway - Republicans - who said that we had made the case but yet they were going to vote to acquit the president," Plaskett said.
Plaskett said she tried to win these senators over by saying they could vote to acquit Trump but to not disqualify him from holding office - a vote that requires only a simple majority and would have taken place after a conviction.
