Trump lawyer: Joe and Hunter Biden have 'relevant evidence' for impeachment trial

“So you can expect if witnesses were called, it’s not going to be just a situation where the House managers get to call the witnesses they want,” said Robert Ray, one of the president’s defense lawyers, in an interview on the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.”

Ray’s comments could be viewed as a warning to Senate Democrats that, if they open the door to witnesses, the president’s defense team could make the trial uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing for the current Democratic frontrunner in this year’s presidential campaign. But Ray, in his sometimes combative “Skullduggery” interview, argued that, unlike with Clinton’s impeachment, the two articles brought against Trump — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — have less substance because they allege conduct that does not amount to an actual crime.

“You want to talk about whether or not bribery was committed, then we can talk about that,” Ray said. “And if the Democrats thought it was so persuasive that bribery was shown here, why didn’t they charge it? And the reason they didn’t charge it is because there’s insufficient evidence to show that bribery was committed.”

Isikoff No, they don’t- because even if both of them were completely corrupt, that does not excuse the President of the US from withholding aid in exchange for a country he calls corrupt to investigate them. They are US citizens with rights.
