Asa Hutchinson, who was a House impeachment manager during the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, says he believes it was wrong for the House to impeach President Trump for a second time. In a conversation with "Fox News Sunday," Hutchinson criticized both President Trump’s rhetoric about November’s election as well as the House’s decision to impeach him so soon before he is set to leave office anyway. Now that the impeachment has taken place, however, Hutchinson said the Senate must hear the facts and legal arguments at a trial where "the outcome is unpredictable." Asked about President Trump’s responsibility for the Jan. 6 riot, Hutchinson did not specifically blame the president but said Trump invited people to a rally, "used very aggressive language," and "misled people as to … what happened during the election."
