Trump has a 5 p.m. deadline to say whether he'll participate in House impeachment proceedings, but he's already planning with key Republicans a strategy for his Senate trial.

The White House is expected to say Friday whether President Trump will participate in House impeachment proceedings, but all signs suggest he already is focusing on winning acquittal — and political retribution — in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, said Democrats have always wanted to impeach the president, “so they should just get on with it so we can have a fair trial in the Senate and expose the Swamp for what it is.”

Trump instead appears focused on pursuing exoneration in the Senate, where Republicans will call the shots.

Republican farmer: Trump is backstabbing the people who elected him - CNN Video'I think he's sort of backstabbing the main people who got him into office in the midwest.' This Republican farmer in Pennsylvania says the US-China trade war is a bad idea and that it's hurting farmers across his state. Maybe you should ask Nancy to pass the USMCA. That will help farmers tremendously but the left chooses their own power grab over the success of Americans. How? This is exactly what trump said he would do Sort of?

Biden says he will not appear at Senate impeachment trial despite demands from TrumpA top White House official said Wednesday that Pres. Trump is demanding a full trial, featuring live witnesses in the Senate chamber if and when the House sends over articles of impeachment to the Senate later this month. He just realized how serious the whole thing is? So is he going to testify in his own defense or allow first hand witnesses like Pompeii, mulvaney and Giuliani? If not he’s still just a bag of farts! Democrats realizing they opened a can of worms they don't control. LMAO. Can't wait to see the witness list.
