Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) asserted Sunday that the impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump should proceed, saying that it is not unconstitutional.

Romney told CNN on Sunday: “Well, I’ve read a number of law review articles, and I think if you put aside the partisan columns if you will written in various publications and look at those that are written by academics, you’ll find that the preponderance of the legal opinion is that an impeachment trial after someone has left office is constitutional.”
