Yeah, it was, uh, it was something special. When Newsmax lined up a Trump-friendly expert like Dersh for commentary on the trial, they were obviously expecting glowing praise for Team MAGA. That’s not what they got because Trump lawyer Bruce Castor didn’t allow for an alternative. Instead of honing in on the question of whether it’s constitutional to try a public official who’s been impeached after he leaves office, Castor just sort of … talked. Dersh was boxed in and had to tell the truth: It sucked.
The leader of the Democratic team prosecuting Donald Trump's impeachment trial welled up in tears on Tuesday as he recalled his 24-year-old daughter and son-in-law hiding in fear in the U.S. Capitol during the rampage by the former president's supporters.
The lead House impeachment manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, says his daughter and son-in-law "thought they were going to die" during the Capitol insurrection. Raskin's family members were there to support him, because the lawmaker had buried his son the day before.
House impeachment managers, the several representatives who will represent the case for impeachment in the Senate trial against former President Donald Trump next week, requested that the former president testify. His attorneys quickly said no.
