Feb. 4 requesting that Trump testify before or during the upcoming impeachment trial arguing that his testimony was needed after he disputed the House's allegations that he incited the insurrection at the Capitol.
"The use of our Constitution to bring a purported impeachment proceeding is much too serious to try to play these games," wrote Trump's attorneys Bruce Castor and David Schoen. During his closing remarks last night, Raskin shared a series of questions that the impeachment lawyers would have asked Trump had he agreed to testify, including why Trump did not tell his supporters to stop the attack on the Capitol"as soon as he learned of it."
All those who acquitted Trump sadden me to my core, they're either too spineless to get away from him or too greedy thinking about the money he could raise. Good luck boys (Not really)
Constitutionality to try president after office. U have 3 arms of Govt not 4. Exe, Leg & Jud. Congress is Legislative branch of U.S Govt. If impeachment already started by congress (Legislative) b4 the president left office, then they have constitutional right to try him or her.
As a citizen of Myanmar, I do welcome American’s army as a help to Myanmar. Any action to bring down the military dictators is welcomed. Thank you for standing with Myanmar people. ဒီစာကိုကော်ပြီယူပြီးအမေရီကန်သမ္မတအကောင့်မှာ ဝိုင်းမန့်ပေးကြပါ အမေရီကန်စစ်တပ်ကိုအကူညီတောင်းတာပါ
that's exactly what it is , continuing ur witch hunt... you would think with all that's going on in the world u would have more important issues that need to be addressed wouldn't u
We the people should never have a Narcissus such as Trump whose only concern is for himself than the Nations and I wish someone would get the traits of a Narcissus and use those characteristics in this trial.

hard luck cnn trump going to get off now fk off
Can House Managers subpoena Trump? I am pretty sure he will incriminate or perjury himself if he is sat down for questioning
Disgraceful display.
It was an outrageous display from Trump's lawyers! Subsequently, the information from the telephone conversation is released, after the pleas and questions round in the senate have been completed. Kevin McCarty should make a statement about this in the Senate today!
Shift yourself off the air. You aren’t a news company you are a left wing campaign 24/7. No respect for you
In spite of QOP outrage at the time, HRC and BHO did more to respond to an attack on the other side of the world (Benghazi) than Trump did to respond to an attack on the US Capitol just down the street. Benghazi aid arrived late but at least they didn’t just tweet at it like DJT
Retribution for what?
if the republican party do not impeach, this sham is a --- of lawlessness. the blatant lies r actually disheartening, no wonder people do not respect politics. there for every one to c lie after lie. how do u teach your children, 'yes, u would go to jail but...' disheartening

UN envoy Myint Thu ignored the current situation in Burma and lied in defense of the coup d’état. He does not represent the people of Myanmar. Therefore, Myint Thu was declared to be a traitor to the country from now on. Lier_MyintThu Traitor_MyintThu GoFuckYourself
Why nothing on cuomo killing people
I’ve never reached out in this way but one of my twin boys is going to need a lot of medical care soon. I don’t have many followers so I’m asking any like-minded progressives to retweet this and donate if at all possible. Thank you so much! gofundme
And they schooled the house managers
The tragedy is they could say yep he did it and the republicans would still say not guilty
Does anyone remember the Republican Party? The GOP is willing to look away and let their party be destroyed by a game show host who incited an insurrection during a US election. Voters will remember those who stood up, but more importantly, those who stood by!
The entire impeachment is an embarrassment to our country but especially to Democrats. They are to absorbed hatred to see this ........
It’s the Trump team. They’re lying. It’s a requirement of employment.
Oh you mean the truth
Anything on the Cuomo twins killing helpless people in New York
No matter what happens, the Trumps will always be remembered as true TRAITORS! Donald J Trump is the ONLY president to be impeached twice and the only to continuously lie to the American people leading to more then 473 thousand deaths.
The first grade ‘I know you are, but what am I?’ defense. Pitiful. What’s even more pitiful is that it won’t matter one bit. 🤦♂️🇺🇸
The defense team rested because this is indefensible. We all saw it and we know for sure Trump saw it
So much to see in this Imp trial but CNN please either remove or make smaller that friggen breaking news banner at the bottom of the screen so we can see the Managers at work too! Or have it appear and disappear maybe?
Is USA incapable of electing just 66 people to Senate with most basic principles of justice?Shocking if Republicans are going to attempt to weasel out on grounds of constitutionality!Truly a damning dereliction of duty that history will damn!Weaselling questions,guilt is clear!!
I'm watching the Impeachment I cant understand why Trump's tweet about the rioters isn't being quoted. He said go to the capitol, act lawfully as patriots. Then after the riot he said go home you are great patriots surely that suggests their actions were patriotic to him
Why is silent about this?
hi
You're editing questions now,? The question was '- process is discretionary -' I don't know where you get 'not'.
Democratic in New York Out for Governor. Problems abound
If by “shift blame” you mean show how actual instigation of violence occurs by democRATS in comparison, then yes, you’re correct.
I do not defend Trump in any way but what bothers me is the continuous hypocrisy by the democrats and the media. It is beyond ridiculous. How could you trust anything that they say?
Acquittal is coming!
Trumps attorney Michael van der Veen is so annoying. The house managers are getting under his skin. He has no case.
Ridiculous, it's amazing that Republicans are still acting as though this isn't an issue
I wonder if Trumps lawyers know they are fighting a futile fight and not gonna get payed for this 🤦🏻♂️🤣😂
That's what trumpists do; blame others.
Impeachment is a circus! Defense is evading questions! End result will be a joke and will be viewed accordingly by the global community. The U.S. political system can only be compared to 3rd world status. Trust of U.S. is at all time low!!!!
The only question is: If trump doesn't give a speech on the morning of January 6, 2021 does the insurrection happen? The answer is: No. 🇺🇲
Wow, why didn’t they just put up a defense without an attack ? Cause gop attacks and terrorizes
And what a fail it was
Where is your coverage of Andy Cuomo?
Hey , where’s the story about Cuomo lying about the COVID deaths he caused in the nursing homes?
Typical republicans never take responsibility and always blaming other.
Right minds must stand out not the political party.What is wrong is wrong.
Watching the defence is like watching circus clowns
I would love to believe that this matters but i have seen this too many times before. It all will go away with no one held accountable. Watch... Sad but true.
Please please is there any way to get rid of Patrick Leahy. He is insufferable. Dozey and confused. He needs to have a nap.
I genuinely ask 'what is the point?' - there is no actual 'jury' only a group of gutless Republican senators
Will all be over with tomorrow. BRING ON THE TRUMP 2024 FLAGS!!!!
This amazes me . We have all seen this before. No answers and no accountability. After this all said and done nothing changes. A minor defect will be highlighted and then we move on. This is becoming a joke even after videos!!!!
Great defense team 👍👍 well done showed the real colors of the dems
CNN be like........ 🗑

How Trumpy of them... 🙄

Bullshit defense for a bullshit human
Always deflecting that’s Trumps MO
Why are you in FL at all? How can all media outlets censor and silence an individual and then stalk them where they are residing?
LMAO shift blame...
And still nothing about Cuomo cnn? But this political circus is breaking news. Be fair not a tabloid.
Joke!
I think that we all just have to accept that the right thing will not be done here. We should be used to how things work by now, after the last four years. TeflonDon strikes again!
And hypocrisy!! All true. But thanks for the attempt at journalism anyway
When you can't defend the indefensible, pass the blame😂
Laughable.
Good thing I did not plan to watch it. Was over before it started.

NOT GUILTY!’n
Here's the Trump defense: BUT HILLARY! BUT SOMEONE ELSE! BUT SOMEONE ELSE! BUT SOMEONE ELSE! BUT SOMEONE ELSE! IGNORE WHAT OUR CLIENT DID FOR FIVE YEARS! BUT HILLARY! BUT OBAMA! BUT HILLARY! The routine is really tiresome. He's GUILTY.
All the senators that look the other way will have no careers after this. They too will be considered Traitors by many.
Trump said he could shoot someone and not lose followers. He knew the power of his words. All words have different inference depending on the context in which the words are used. discussing hijacking sitting in a restaurant carries different impact sitting on an airplane.
Didn’t know the Democrats were violently breaking into the capital or beating a police officer to death on Trumps say so
Eternity is real Don't miss this awesome sermon.

Should the slides show autopsy photos of the dead?
One thing we do know...Ted Cruz know how to kiss the entire ass!!
What a frickin waste of time and taxpayer money.. this is why we hate career politicians. This is all about trying to prevent Trump from running again and winning again which most certainly would in 2024. Just wow. Our republic is in shambles because of the idiots in wash.
Comedy
Why did they argue about doing the impeachment instead of covid relief? The new admin has done more for covid relief than trump ever did. Makes no sense.
I pray the Democrats give Republicans the worst 4 years of their lives; why do we barter with them when this is how they repay the Americans ? But I bet all those Pubes will take those stimulus right ?
Acquit, let SDoNY take care of it. No political risk
American Democracy is now just a joke.
If you decide Trump is not guilty then don’t forget his rioters to release from prisons, they shouldn’t be guilty neither. Law should be above social status,
Trump’s lawyer called those that attacked The Capitol, criminals. Does that mean Trump will proclaim The Oath Keepers, The Proud Boys, and Qanon as terrorist groups? And will he proclaim the election as legitimate? Because that is the position his lawyer put him in.
If they have full Georgia transcript of phone call then why not play it. Also not once did trump ask for peaceful protest during the Capitol riots. What about the run off the road Biden bus/ coach by trump supporters.
This Trump dude is about to get away with in-sighting an insurrection , people died and he walks off scotch free. And the republicans that were in the room and almost killed as well is backing him when he turned on them. Never seen nothing like it! SMDH! 🤦🏾♀️
What about witnesses
People like HawleyMO can act like a racist nazi and sit back until 2025 knowing that the people cannot do a thing to fix our government. How do we give 4-year term limits to Senators ? How do we make this happen because I am sick of this.
All entertainment to keep the 'Orange Man Bad' narrative going to keep the eyes off the bad policies being made in a rush before the curtains are lifted.
