Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) penned a column published on Sunday defending his decision to vote against former President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial.

Cassidy, who was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump, wrote in an op-ed published in the Louisiana newspaper The Advocate that he was convinced the former president “was actively subverting the peaceful transfer of power.”
