Lawyers for US President Donald Trump will begin his defense at the Senate impeachment trial on Saturday, offering a rebuttal to Democratic charges that he abused his power and previewing more detailed arguments planned for next week.

The US Capitol is seen at night, on the fourth day of the Senate impeachment trial of US President Donald Trump, in Washington, US, January 24, 2020.

The US television audience for Democrats’ arguments declined on Thursday to roughly 7.8 million viewers during live daytime coverage, according to data from the Nielsen ratings agency – a 29% drop from Tuesday afternoon. “Why they opened up the door as wide as a double door on the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Burisma issue. I guess they figured that was their way of getting ahead of it. We will address it,” Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s defense attorneys, told reporters.

Taiwan has agreed already to have their US base! Matira ang matibay! Come on, a decision based on the visa of one person, how important could he be in the scheme of things that the security of more than a 100 million people are put at ridk because of him? It would've been believable but Duterte said he won't junk the VFA if dela Rosa's visa is reinstated within one month.
