Trump attorney Pam Bondi brings the argument back to Hunter Biden and the questions from Republicans about whether his role with the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma was a conflict of interest with his father's position in the Obama administration.

on Sunday, Bolton said Trump told him he wanted to continue withholding nearly $400 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials in Ukraine helped investigate Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden.

Sen. Mitt Romney speaks to reporters as he arrives at the Capitol, Jan. 27, 2020, during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. White House adviser Pam Bondi presents her opening argument on day 6 of the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, Jan. 27, 2020, at the Capitol. There are expressions of dismay and concern on several faces of Democratic senators. Sen. Cory Booker openly scowls as he stands in the back of the chamber.

GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Mitt Romney are especially engaged, and members of the Trump defense team are noticeably craning their necks during certain portions of the presentation to see how senators are reacting."Rudy Giuliani is the House managers' colorful distraction,” another member of the president's legal team, Jane Raskin, tells senators, in her first turn speaking during the Senate arguments.

She says Giuliani has said multiple times that his interest in Ukraine is not related to the 2020 presidential election and predated the announcement of former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign, a big talking point in the Democrats' argument about the timeline of events. Mueller's report found that while there was insufficient evidence to charge members of the Trump campaign with engaging in a criminal conspiracy with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election -- it did not find there was no evidence of contacts and cooperation or"no collusion" as Trump has claimed. It also found that Russian operatives sought to manipulate the election through misinformation and other types of interference.

Deputy White House counsel Michael Purpua presents opening argument on day 6 or the impeachment trail of President Donald Trump, Jan. 27, 2020, at the Capitol. "Putting to one side the absurdity of the House managers trying to remove a duly elected president of the United States from office because he met a world leader in one location versus another, this theory has no basis in fact."Ken Starr, the independent counsel who pushed for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, says"the Senate is being called to sit as the high court of impeachment all too frequently.

Lies, lies and more lies. Is that all the republicans know?

and trump businesses and hiring of their dumb inept and inexperienced hiring as advisers to the government whilst conducting and benefitting from.their position is not abuse of power or conflict of interest I must have missed that chapter on Ethics and public service manual.

In other words they have no defence.

85K month for not knowing or doing a thing plus he's never had to go to Ukraine

REPUBLICAN COVERUP!!!!!

Trump is charged not Hunter. Geez.

United We Stand 🇺🇸 We need to put this sham behind and put our children’s future ahead.

So corrupt

When you realize that you would need to lie to avoid highlighting your guilt, you quickly begin pointing the finger towards someone else in an attempt to get the focus off you.

For gods sake it’s not the Biden’s on trial!!!

Huh I thought this was a trial about Trump and the extortion of a foreign government. BTW by the time Hunter was hired the company had been investigated properties returned to its owner. Facts they do matter.

Biden has every right to get filthy rich using political power to get rich. Some would call this corruption but it's Democrat politics as usual.

Hunter only got hired because of his dad, Who got the prosecutor fired with in 6 hours, It's all on video,

Investigating corruption isn’t Illegal and running for office doesn’t give you immunity seriously they are trying to impeach trump for Biden corruption

Hunter Biden work for the American people? Oh yea that’s right. Trump does.

WhT the fuck does that have to do with the impeachment! Wtf.

The lying flows from the top down. Not one person on D has an iota of self respect left. Lindsey was right in 2016, he’s totally destroyed the gop

THIS PamBondi ? WITH LevParnas? ImpeachmentTrial ImpeachedForever PamBondi Isn't this two different occasions with Parnas? Is this a deep conflict of interest? Or at the very least, corrupt? GStephanopoulos WorldNews

You can only pursue that line of logic if we get to do the same with ivanka, beavis, butthead, and jerod.

She will file a law suit against Trump in the next ten years when this will be accepted as rape..:)

Reading comprehension not Bondi’s forte

BREAKING: All Big 3 networks ABC, CBS, NBC blacked out Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi's presentation this afternoon of Ukraine corruption related to Joe Biden, son Hunter Biden & Burisma. In contrast, Big 3 carried Schiff's p.m. presentations live, preempting regular programming

The sheer audacity of Trump supporters criticizing nepotism is just frankly beyond me.

Undeniable.

Pam Bondi alleges that Biden's pressure campaign to dismiss a Ukrainian prosecutor was part of an effort to protect his son, Hunter. But the prosecutor faced criticism from domestic and international anti-corruption advocates, who say Biden was justified.
