WASHINGTON – Democrats who will prosecute the case against President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial said there was "overwhelming" evidence that he was guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and called him a danger to the country's national security.
“This is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election – now just months away,” the filing said. The two articles of impeachment passed by the House of Representatives on Dec. 18 accuse Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Democrats referenced the option the Senate has in calling former national security adviser John Bolton to testify in the impeachment trial. Bolton has offered to testify if subpoenaed. Democrats argued that his testimony could help prove that American officials saw the pressure campaign as “improper and political” given the “public reporting of his repeated, yet unsuccessful, efforts to convince the President to lift the hold .
Saying the president"has done nothing wrong," spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said he"looks forward to the end of this partisan and unconstitutional impeachment" with an acquittal by the Senate.
They are absolutely right. Whether you like these things or not he has dumped on US generals and intelligence agencies, which only emboldens our adversaries. TrumpUnAmerican
If it came down to America or Trump's saving himself, who do you think he would choose? How many people has he thrown under the bus?
Democrats are the only danger to the U.S. national security and are staging a coup attempt to overturn the election of a duly elected President that has done more good for the country,than the Democrats have done ever!!!
