Trump s lawyer calls impeachment article an unconstitutional act of political vengeance Senate TV
Former President Trump s lawyers have returned to a familiar witch hunt argument and cited free speech in their arguments before the Senate today.
Attorney Michael van der Veen opened his arguments by criticizing the proceedings. The article of impeachment now before the Senate is an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional act of political vengeance, he said. This appalling abuse of the Constitution only further divides our nation when we should be trying to come together around shared priorities. Like every other politically motivated witch hunt, the left has engaged in over the past four years, this impeachment is completely divorced from the facts, the evidence, and the interests of the American people. The Senate should promptly and decisively vote to reject it.
The risk of violence was foreseeable, impeachment manager says Senate TV
Impeachment manager Joe Neguse made the argument that violence was both predictable and foreseeable at the Jan. 6 rally before the Capitol riot. Was it foreseeable that the violence would erupt on January 6th if President Trump lit a spark? Was it predictable that the crowd at the Save America rally was poised on a hair trigger for violence that they would fight literally if provoked to do so? Of course it was. When President Trump stood up to that podium on January 6th, he knew that many in that crowd were inflamed, were armed, were ready for violence. It was an explosive situation. And he knew it, Neguse said.
Trump's lawyer David Schoen took a break as the House impeachment managers were trying their case on the third day of the Senate impeachment trial for an interview with Fox News.
