House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff leaves the Capitol, in Washington, on Jan. 22, 2020.Democrats planned to plow ahead on Thursday at U.S. President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial with their arguments for removing him from office, but Republicans showed no signs of softening their resistance to the Democratic case.
“We have the evidence to prove President Trump ordered the aid withheld, he did so to force Ukraine to help his re-election campaign,” Schiff said during arguments on Wednesday that stretched for eight hours. “We can and will prove President Trump guilty of this conduct and of obstructing the investigation into his conduct.”
Democrats have two more days to make their opening arguments. Trump’s defence team, a group of White House lawyers and outside counsel, will have three days for rebuttal.“We will make a determination on our presentation based on what we are responding to and based on our affirmative case,” Sekulow said. “I don’t know if it will take 10 hours, 14 hours, 24 hours or six hours.”Democrats said they will focus on the Constitution, the impeachment articles and the facts relating to them on Thursday.
“I didn’t hear anything new, at all,” said Republican Senator John Barrasso. He repeated Republican criticism that Democrats are pursuing a politically-driven effort to oust Trump from office before the November presidential election. Trump, who arrived back in Washington on Wednesday night from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, condemned the proceedings as “unfair & corrupt” in a Twitter post on Thursday.

Iran MP offers US$3M 'to anyone who kills Trump': reportIranian news agency ISNA has reported that an Iranian lawmaker has offered a US$3-million reward to 'anyone who kills' U.S. President Donald Trump to avenge the assassination of a top general.

If Trudeau had done what Trump is accused of the same paper would be rolling out opinion pieces that the PM is a criminal. Tired of the media polarization and manipulation And there it is, admitting, but not impeachable 🤣🤣🤣 who saw this coming 😳😳😳 Kimberly Strassel - Expert of US Law...oh wait, she's just a writer
