Sen. Mike Braun complimented Democrats on making their case so far in President Trump's impeachment trial and argued that the process "ought to be instructive" to the president's future behavior.
Joining NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, the Indiana Republican gave his thoughts on the Senate impeachment trial, which began with 24 hours of opening arguments from the House impeachment managers followed by two hours of defense from Trump's legal team.
"Here, the case so far, and I'll give them credit, they put together a broad, comprehensive case, but it was circumstantial in nature," he said. "And then you say, 'Well, you're splitting hairs,' but this is a political process. It begs a question of all of us as jurors, you know, and none of us would be there in a normal trial."
