'My Democratic colleagues, you can say what you want about me, but I’m covering up nothing,' Senator Lindsey Graham said about President Trump’s impeachment trial
WASHINGTON - Democrats accused President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial on Wednesday of a corrupt scheme to pressure Ukraine to help him get re-elected and warned that America’s global prestige would suffer if the U.S. Senate acquits him.
Democrats argue that Trump was trying to find dirt on Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination for the November election, and his son Hunter Biden who had served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, to help the president win a second term. Trump denies any wrongdoing and his fellow Republicans in the Senate say his behavior does not fit the description of “high crimes and misdemeanors” outlined in the U.S. Constitution as a reason to oust a U.S. president.See more stories
Making references to 18th century U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton and the late Republican President Ronald Reagan, Schiff said the world was watching. Tuesday’s start of the impeachment trial drew about 11 million TV viewers, according to Neilsen ratings data, a figure that fell short of the roughly 13.8 million who watched last November for the first day of the House impeachment inquiry into Trump.
“I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material,” Trump said.
