GOP Sen. Portman cites ‘serious constitutional questions’ with Trump impeachment trial

Portman asserted that Trump “bears some responsibility” for the events of Jan. 6, when his supporters stormed the Capitol complex as lawmakers met to confirm President Biden’s election victory. However, the Ohio senator argued that impeachment, as detailed in the Constitution, is reserved for elected officials who can still be removed from office.
