President Trump's lawyers said Monday the President has done 'absolutely nothing wrong.'
The Republican-run Senate is expected to acquit Trump. But the president's lawyers and House Democratic managers are preparing for an intense trial little more than nine months before the U.S. presidential election.
Trump and aides said he wanted Ukraine to investigate corruption, and concern about that corruption is the reason the administration held up aid temporarily. They noted that the money was released in September. Trump's attorneys also claimed there is no merit to the second impeachment article that accuses Trump of obstructing the Congressional investigation by withholding witnesses and documents.
Democrats said the White House prevented the House from interviewing certain witnesses and seeing documents, and the Senate should find a way to hear from them.tweeted over the weekend that"Americans overwhelmingly want to see a fair trial," and that includes as much evidence as possible. "President Trump maintains that the Senate cannot remove him even if the House proves every claim in the Articles of impeachment," their legal brief said."That is a chilling assertion. It is also dead wrong."
