McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.
"He didn't get away with anything yet — yet," McConnell said in the Senate at the time.
"We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation, and former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one," he said.
