Democrats unveiled Monday a more coordinated effort to argue that if they don’t impeach Trump now, he’ll ask another country to interfere in some way to help his reelection.
Democrats unveiled Monday a more coordinated effort to argue that if they don’t impeach Trump now, he’ll ask another country to interfere in some way to help his reelection.
They pointed to Trump personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani’s traveling to Ukraine last week to argue Trump may be doing it again. “The integrity of our next election is at stake. Nothing could be more urgent,” said Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.).
When Republicans’ counsel Stephen Castor did talk about substance, he didn’t have a lot of factual information to work with:To defend Trump, he lifted up a conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the election.
He tried to argue that all Democrats have on Trump is a July 25 phone call transcript, though Trump’s point person on Ukraine testified there was a quid pro quo
Finally, in the most bizarre line of attack against the Democrats, Castor argued, at least implicitly, that the Trump administration was not with it enough to corrupt foreign policy
How could 63 million people be wrong? The GOP strains to make precedent-related defenses of Trump.
