The US Capitol is seen at night, on the fourth day of the Senate impeachment trial of US President Donald Trump, in Washington, US, Jan 24, 2020. WASHINGTON: Lawyers for US President Donald Trump will begin his defence at the Senate impeachment trial on Saturday , offering a rebuttal to Democratic charges that he abused his power and previewing more detailed arguments planned for next week.
The US television audience for Democrats' arguments declined on Thursday to roughly 7.8 million viewers during live daytime coverage, according to data from the Nielsen ratings agency - a 29 per cent drop from Tuesday afternoon. Government witnesses told the impeachment inquiry last year that Biden was carrying out official US policy."Why they opened up the door as wide as a double door on the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Burisma issue. I guess they figured that was their way of getting ahead of it. We will address it," Jay Sekulow, one of Trump's defence attorneys, told reporters.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said his defence team should"just tell the truth" and accused Democrats of"telling so many lies, so many fabrications, so much exaggeration. And this is not impeachable."
