Trump Impeachment Trial Begins This Week
● President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial begins Tuesday, and while an acquittal is near certain as 17 Republicans would have to join all Democrats in voting to convict, testimony will be presented in the upper chamber seeking to prove Trump’s role in “incitement to insurrection” in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
● Trump’s lawyers have said they will argue that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional because Trump no longer holds office and will say that his speech was protected under the First Amendment. Trump’s impeachment trial will be the first of a U.S. president no longer in office.
● Attorney David Schoen and Bruce Castor, a former district attorney in Pennsylvania, are heading up Trump’s legal defense team.
