3 Trump Lawyers File Brief Ahead Of Senate Impeachment Trial

Both sides of the Trump impeachment battle have drawn their lines and laid out the basics of their position. Attorneys for former President Donald Trump are denying allegations that he incited the violent and deadly attack at the Capitol on January 6th. Trump's lawyers filed a 14-page brief ahead of next week's Senate impeachment trial. Trump's attorneys reject assertions that the now-former President tried to stop the House and Senate from ratifying results of the presidential election. They also question the constitutionality of trying a President once he has left office. The attorneys deny that the former president played any role in inciting the riots at the Capitol and assert that he exercised his First Amendment rights when making false claims about the 2020 election. The House article of impeachment accuses Trump of provoking the Capitol attack during an earlier, huge rally near the White House. Perhaps ironically, Trump’s legal team accidentally addressed their arguments to the “Unites States Senate” instead of the United States Senate.
