Row erupts in Congress as Trump impeachment trial under way

White House legal team kept their opening arguments very short. This is what their hoping the whole impeachment trial will be - short, low key and lacking any new witnesses who could expose more damaging informationAfter Democrats argued that McConnell was trying to rush arguments through, he backs off the 12-hour plan. The time given to arguments will now be spread out over 3 days.

"The idea that the counsel to the president has to turn over protected documents and confidential information is ludicrous, and to imply he can't represent the president of the United States in an impeachment proceeding is completely absurd," said White House spokesman Hogan Gidley.Leading Democrat Adam Schiff says Mr Trump withheld military assistance to Ukraine to help him cheat in the US election.Reps and Dems are arguing over what this trial will look like.

RepAdamSchiff When Schiff says anything, particularly his undying concern for the American people, it’s like a hot knife insult penetrating our intelligence.

I think the Senate has already made up their minds...no matter what the evidence is.

RepAdamSchiff Anyone else bored shitless by coverage of this hearing? Nowt is happening, !! Have you nowt better to do?

RepAdamSchiff He wants to do the whole shebang now , god he's boring .

RepAdamSchiff Not guilty. Trump 2020.

So if the Democrats can’t show their evidence then they can’t vote guilty right? We shall see if they still vote guilty with no evidence.

Who cares? The name of the game is to successful. America has never been so successful. Why kill the golden goose?

They had every opportunity to call witnesses and they didn’t. They fucked themselves now they’re whining.

Translation - if you don't find him guilty, we'll cry that it wasn't a fair trial

RepAdamSchiff He's lying through his teeth. He gave no fairness to the President in the Congressional Hearings. Good-bye Democrats!

RepAdamSchiff It won’t happen. Democracy functioning at its v best

RepAdamSchiff He won't shut up....Shifty wants to do the whole shebang 😂😂💦💦💦

Adam is a crook apparently

That from the DEM's that wouldn't know what a free trail was Shifty Shiff

Get out president realDonaldTrump
