Recently in the news, Stacey Plaskett reacts to the Senate vote acquitting the former president. She is defending the agreement between House managers and Trump's attorneys not to call witnesses after all. "We had no need to call any witnesses at the end of the trial because, as all Americans believed at that moment, the evidence was overwhelming," she said in an interview Sunday. The Senate voted 57-43, which included seven Republicans, to hold Trump guilty on the impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection. But that was short of the two-thirds, or 67 votes, needed to convict him. "I know that people have a lot of angst and they can't believe that the Senate did what they did. But what we needed were senators, more senators with spines, not more witnesses," Plaskett said. "Individuals do not come to the Senate floor, raise their hand and testify. Individuals are depositioned, videotaped, and that tape is then played before the Senate," Plaskett said.
Stacey Plaskett is famous for being a famous politician, attorney, as well as a commentator. She is best known for winning re-election, defeating independent candidate Shekema George with 88.09% of the vote.
