In his two-hour opening argument for the prosecution, Representative Adam Schiff said President Trump had pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Joe Biden ImpeachmentTrial
WASHINGTON - Democrats accused President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial on Wednesday of a corrupt scheme to pressure Ukraine to help him get re-elected and warned that America’s global prestige would suffer if the U.S. Senate acquits him.
The Democratic team pressed its case against Trump in eight hours of arguments, which will resume on Thursday. “We believe without question that the president will be acquitted,” Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow told reporters at the end of Wednesday’s session. Making references to 18th century U.S. founding father Alexander Hamilton and the late Republican President Ronald Reagan, Schiff said the world was watching.
