President Trump’s defense team to wrap up opening statements
The next phase of the trial -- in which senators will submit questions to both sides for up to 16 hours -- is expected to begin Wednesday. After that, a pivotal point in the trial -- a Senate vote on whether to consider new witnesses and other evidence -- could come as early as Friday.Here is how the day unfolded.
They are two key senators on the question of witnesses. Most stopped taking notes during the Sekulow comments. Trump's counsel Jay Sekulow presents opening arguments during impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump at the Capitol, Jan. 28, 2020. "Hamilton put impeachment in the hands of this body, the Senate, precisely and specifically to be above that fray. This is the greatest deliberative body on Earth. In our presentation so far, you have now heard from legal scholars from a variety of schools of thought, from a variety of political backgrounds, but they do have a common theme with a dire warning, danger. Danger. Danger," he says.
Senators are paying attention, but only a few appear to be taking notes, ABC's Mary Bruce notes from the Senate gallery. Graham genuinely seems bored. He is snapping his gum, staring at the wall and constantly leaving the chamber for long stretches.From my vantage point, I could see directly over Sekulow's shoulder as he tweaked and rewrote the top of his remarks. Notable, since the beginning of his comments included a not-so-subtle reference to Bolton's allegations, saying"It's not a game of leaks and unsourced manuscripts.
National Security Advisor John R. Bolton listens as President Donald J. Trump meets with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte in the Oval Office at the White House, July 18, 2019.The source noted there are real-time implications and concerns about executive privilege assertions. You could see a situation, the source says, where “every question that rotates around executive privilege having to go to a court for adjudication – every one of those questions is a time process.

Oh, little man, you slay me with your fabrications. Wishing doesn’t make it so. You can repeat yourself over and over, but no one believes your lies anymore.
The why, of GOP still to trying and muddy the waters with a BS investigation into Biden, is obvious to any open minded person. The why, for blocking previous as well as new evidence, is same. Even needing it, shows such a blatant partisanship by GOP. Stated they'd work wih WH.
A book is not being unde oath. Facts or fiction depending who’s listening. The bottom line is y’all impeached POTUS so your evidence or road map to never land has to substance.
I’ll bet you won’t be asked that. How about some whistleblower questions?
The fact that our corrupt media doesn’t hold him to account as the country watches, just makes it easier to point out how corrupt the media is
I want Adam to be called
Hearing not functioning as doesn’t listen. Spin.
I thought he was impeached and this is about removal. Trump will forever be impeached by the House of Representatives!
Wait, he IS impeached already. FOREVER, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Russian bots are out in force today. They must really be scared.
They don't want the Bidens up there talking. They know how bad it would get
Wishful thinking... for what crime? Who’s the victim? Where’s the proof ? Not what Trump thought but what he did.
Do you really believe that every single Republican was a good person & only turned corrupt the day Trump took office? Just think of how long some Republicans have been in office & the things they must've done to betray Our country for money & power, that we don't even know about.
Adam a proven pathological liar. Trumps defense is based on weeding out corruption. Biden is germane to that defense. as for Adam crap bag this,is just a furtherance of the FISA abuse and Russia hoax,lies that Adam perpetuated. Adam should be laughed out of any room he enters
Again. “I’m willing to lie as I’ve done multiple times now and liberals will protect me.” “All while I try saying others are lying.” Odd how this sounds like a person that cheats and get caught. They then lash out at others
Sorry, just opinion not facts. That's all the house has had, and it continues.
Can't wait for this political witch hunt! Total hypocrites here...
Does ANYONE believe anything this guy says anymore
Oh Chuck, that's not how testimony works. You get asked questions and then have to answer them. You don't get to just rant like usual.
yes my darling, tell me more....
