BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee has given lawyers on both sides of the #ImpeachmentTrial a copy of a log from his cellphone that shows a call from the White House at 2:26 p.m. on Jan. 6. #ClearAndPresentDanger
“That account — and the new phone record — strongly undercuts a claim from Trump’s lawyers on the Senate floor on Friday that “at no time” had Trump been informed that Pence was in danger during the hours-long riot.”
“The phone log proves that Trump’s call to Tuberville came only after he had attacked Pence as “lacking courage.” But it also provides evidence that Trump definitively knew of Pence’s predicament moments later. Trump did not follow up his tweet with any call for Pence’s safety.”
Details: Up to 4 hrs equally divided btwn the Impeachment Managers & the Trump’s counsel to present arguments on Tues Feb 9 on the constitutionality of the trial.
