Impeachment trial: Trump lawyers lay out defense, ignore Bolton bombshell

that Bolton's claims in an upcoming book that Trump said he wanted a military aid package to Ukraine withheld until Kyiv agreed to announce investigations into his Democratic political opponents, including the Bidens.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, released a statement saying the reports on Bolton's book "strengthen the case for witnesses."Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska tweeted: "I stated before that I was curious as to what John Bolton might have to say. From the outset, I've worked to ensure this trial would be fair and that members would have the opportunity to weigh in after its initial phase to determine if we need more information.

"Not a single witness testified the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigation and security assistance, a presidential meeting, or anything else," Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow said. Raskin, referring to Giuliani as a "minor player," said he wasn't on a "political errand" while in talks with Ukraine on digging up potentially damaging information about Joe Biden. Rather, she said, he was being a good defense lawyer for the president.

For more than half an hour, Bondi laid out the discredited theory that in 2014, Joe Biden had pressed for the removal of a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor, not because the prosecutor was corrupt, but because that prosecutor had run a corruption probe of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company who employed Hunter Biden as a board member.

This is a total bullshit headline. The supposed “bombshell” (2388 since Trump presidency) was addressed head on by Dershowitz!

A lot a of shadow banning going on with Twitter.

This is not reporting. This is commentating/editorial/opinion. CNBC always points that out when they “publish” an article that is in favor of Trump but not when it is negative. The bias continues.

What is with cnbc Twitter feed, it’s so bad and false. I watch the tv programming all day and it’s nothing like the garbage they put on Twitter. They need to clean house at the social media department !

Comcast is rooting for the Democrats and Against Our president. It shows in CNBC's 'reporting' every day. SICK.

Fake News. Alan Dershowitz said on the Senate floor, “ Let me repeat: nothing in the Bolton revelations, if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense.

liars, i just watched one of them discuss it... LIARS

mas q saibamos o motivo era outro.não deu certo e aí se arruma qualquer outro motivo,e,d ultima hora? não sabem perder mesmo...........

The Hatch Act makes me be neutral and silent

Was JUST addressed and given exactly as much time as it deserved

bidenExposed

Ummm, there is no bombshell. Remember when the Dems tried to pull on the whistleblower...that failed...now Dems failing again.

Lamestream media thinks Boltons unverified hearsay from some fictional anonymous sources as a bombshell

Bolton just wants to be in the 'book' business. He is getting free advertising for his upcoming launch. He and Comey should start a podcast.

Dershowitz did, do this is false.

Republicans in Trump impeachment trial on the spot over Bolton book reportDemocratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that revelations from John Bolton's unpublished book has ‘erased’ any justification not to call witnesses in the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump Worst Jew in America ? So let's say Hunter Biden 'shot someone on 5th avenue'. If he did, he should be investigated & face accountability like anyone else. This would give zero right for a POTUS to break the law by extorting military aid to a foreign ally for an investigation our own DOJ could've done. Uh huh
