Raskin cited some of the most prominent conservative legal scholars — including a former 10th Circuit judge and Federalist Society co-founder Steven Calebresi — who've said it is constitutional to impeach and try an official after they’ve left office. axios.com/trump-impeachm…
House impeachment manager Joe Neguse: "Presidents can’t inflame insurrection in their final weeks and then walk away like nothing happened. And yet that is the rule that President Trump asks you to adopt." axios.com/trump-impeachm…
Trump's lead counsel Bruce Castor opened his arguments at 3 p.m. with praise for lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin's "outstanding presentation," adding that no member of the Trump team will voice anything but condemnation of the rioters on Jan. 6.
