Trump’s defense team also sounded confident today that the president would win acquittal at the earliest stages of the process
Hours into the start of President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, Senate Republicans are claiming they’ve heard nothing new in the House managers’ case for removing Trump from office.
Sen. Pat Toomey also said he “didn’t hear anything new,” while Sen. Tim Scott said the impeachment push was really about Democratic efforts to win control of the Senate in November. Freshman GOP Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri went even further: “I haven’t heard any evidence in there that the president’s done anything wrong.”
Yet their Senate Democratic colleagues had nothing but praise for Schiff and the six other managers as they opened their case. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called Schiff’s two-hour statement a “tour de force,” while Sen. Bob Casey said, “These managers are doing a great job putting those facts on the table.”
