CNBC with Shepard Smith

On whether he will vote to convict President Trump:

"In this country you are afforded due process, I guess unless you're Donald Trump. I don't default to guilty. That would go against everything that the Constitution stands for, and certainly due process. Like Senator McConnell, I would like to hear the legal arguments."

On whether President Trump incited violence:

"The President's rhetoric -- while reckless, while at some level he could be accused of inciting anger and inciting some bad behavior -- it's also clear that the exact words that he used do not rise to -- in my mind anyways -- a criminal level of incitement as we would have to consider -- in my view, in this process -- even as political as it is."
