Were going to turn now to former President Trumps Impeachment Trial set to begin one week from today, and today, how the former president s lawyers now plan to defend him. As House Democrats, the house managers, will argue the former president was, quote, singularly responsible for the deadly capitol siege. Rachel scott on capitol hill again tonight. Reporter tonight, in a sweeping 80page brief, House Democrats laying out their case against donald trump, declaring him singularly responsible for the capitol insurrection, calling it a betrayal of historic proportions. Democrats charge the former president whipped up a mob of supporters into a frenzy, pointing to these words because youll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.

Reporter tonight, trumps lawyers responding, saying the former president did nothing wrong, claiming when he told this to his supporters we fight like hell. And if you dont fight like hell, youre not going to have a country anymore. Reporter that he was talking about the need to fight for Election Security in general. They say the First Amendment entitles trump to express his belief that the Election Results were suspect, claiming there is insufficient evidence to prove him wrong. That is not true. There have been multiple audits and recounts and judges rejected more than 60 lawsuits from the president and his allies. Ultimately, trumps lawyers insist the trial is unconstitutional, since trump is no longer in office. Most constitutional scholars disagree and democrats today argue, If Provoking An Insurrectionary Riot against a Joint Session Of Congress after losing an election is not an impeachable offense, it is hard to imagine what would be. This all begins one week from today. And rachel, we know with republicans in the senate and their vote in recent days, this Impeachment Trial, in their words, is unconstitutional, that democrats will now argue thats not the case, because they say that would essentially mean a president would not be held accountable for their actions in their final weeks of office.
