Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan offered an apology for invoking President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron Trump, to criticize the president during the House Judiciary Committee hearing on impeachment on Wednesday.

But Karlan said she hopes that Trump apologizes for his actions, without elaborating.
