Lawyers for former President Trump are laying out their defense in Trump's Senate impeachment trial.
Attorney Michael van der Veen called the impeachment trial an act of partisan political vengeance.
He also called it a "witch hunt."
Van der Veen argued there was nothing in the former President's speech to supporters on January 6th that later incited violence at the Capitol. Trump headlined a huge rally near the White House before the riot.
