Former impeachment defense attorney Robert Ray predicted Wednesday that former President Donald Trump will be acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial, and that “a substantial defense” will be presented. Ray appeared on MSNBC’s special coverage of the impeachment trial and was asked by host Hallie Jackson what he thought of the defense’s arguments so far and if he could have done a better job defending Trump. “It’s never a good day when your audience, which is obviously the audience of 100 senators, focuses on your presentation as opposed to the merit of the president — the former president’s position,” Ray responded. “The bottom line is that there were 44 senators who have a constitutional problem with this impeachment and unless something substantial changes, obviously, one more vote than they had the last time when this motion came up by Rand Paul, it is not going to change the result and former President Trump will be acquitted by the Senate.
