Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that the House Democrats conducting the impeachment of former President Donald Trump were not able to prove that he incited the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Paul, in response to a Fox News interviewer asking him what he would recommend to Trump’s defense lawyers, said he “would capitalize on something extraordinary that the impeachment managers admitted.”
