Democrats’ impeachment brief documents Trump’s role in spearheading the January 6 coup attempt
On Tuesday, the Democratic House Managers and Donald Trump’s legal team released their briefs for the Senate impeachment trial of the ex-president, set to begin on February 9.
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on January 13 voted for a resolution to impeach Trump on charges of incitement of insurrection in connection with the January 6 fascist assault on Congress. The attempted coup d’etat was organized by Trump and his allies with the aim of blocking congressional certification of Joseph Biden’s election victory and paving the way for Trump to install himself as dictator. In a demonstration of continued support for Trump, 197 of the 211 Republicans in the House voted against impeachment.
