Senator Cruz: ‘This is the beginning of the end of the abuse of the Constitution’

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) – Senator Ted Cruz is confident President Trump will be acquitted in the Senate, putting an end to what he calls a “political farce” and a “constitutional crisis.”

In a video on his way to the Senate floor Tuesday, the Republican from Texas said Trump will get a fair trial.

He said the President will get “a fair opportunity to defend himself, and then we’ll decide this issue based on the constitutional standards for impeachment, which are high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The House last month passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump –abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but Cruz says he’ll be acquitted.

“This is the beginning of the end of the abuse of the Constitution,” said Cruz. “The partisan circus that we’ve seen in the House is over.”
