Trump says his side in impeachment trial has ‘all the material’ by realchriswilson
President Trump boasted Wednesday that his side in the impeachment trial has information that wasn’t shared with the House Democrats who pursued the investigation and brought the charges.
Trump, asked by a reporter for his reaction to the impeachment trial that resumed Wednesday afternoon, praised the work of his legal team, adding that they had the advantage of possessing “all the material.” The White House has resisted turning over documents and allowing witnesses familiar with Trump’s dealings with Ukraine to testify in the investigation about whether the president pressured a foreign government to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, who at the time was leading polling in the Democratic presidential primary.
Trump’s legal team seemed underprepared on the opening day of the impeachment trial Tuesday, with his lawyer Pat Cipollone spending just three minutes on his opening remarks, versus 50 minutes for Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is leading the House team. Republican senators voted as a bloc repeatedly on Tuesday to kill amendments to the rules promulgated by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to subpoena documents and witness testimony from the White House.
