President Trump's defense team are set to make their final day of arguments in his impeachment trial.

. On Monday, the president's team slammed the impeachment process as partisan and argued Trump was justified in asking the Ukrainian government to open investigations into his political adversaries.

Trump's team has offered a vigorous defense of the president's actions while also asserting Trump's lack of wrongdoing.Tuesday's presentation will not be their last chance to convince senators, however. The rules for the impeachment trial allow for 16 answers of questions of both sides submitted by senators following the presentations by the impeachment managers and the defense.

Democrats vigorously disagreed when Dershowitz claimed on Monday that Bolton's testimony was unnecessary because the new revelations would not"rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense.” "We'll be able to combine questions, and it'll be up to the Chief Justice to combine them in an orderly fashion, both sides having equal opportunity for asking questions," said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D.

Just another pile of Republican...

What defense? They are rehashing Trump's tweets & vendetta against Obama & Biden. My belief is that the GOP is united in just letting the voters decide in November & resigned to rationalize anything Trump does until then.

They have no defense. Their defense is the President can do what ever he wants. No checks, no balances. Not the way the founders/Framers of our Country designed our democracy.

Maybe they'll find Nicole Simpson's 'real killer' as they sure aren't putting on much of a defense. senatemajldr SenateGOP realDonaldTrump SenateDems WitnessesAndDocuments Barr Bolton Pompeo Giuliani

Why?

All right we admit he did it but we do not care here it comes

Why Dershowitz is dead wrong & why John Bolton must testify:
