6h ago 03:22 Speaking at the White House for the signing of USMCA, Trump made repeated reference to the impeachment trial, suggesting that Lindsey Graham was probably missing the ceremony to hold a press conference.
When he mentioned Ted Cruz, the president joked that the Republican senator was “dying to get back there and ask those questions,” referring to today’s proceedings.
The president also praised John Cornyn, who is up for reelection in Texas this year. “You don’t have to worry about Beto either, do you, John?” Trump asked, apparently mocking former Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke.
