'Philly-delphia': Trump attorney's calls for depositions in home city draws laughter

The Senate broke out in laughter Saturday after Trump defense attorney Michael van der Veen called for in-person depositions of witnesses in "Philly-delphia."

House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin called Saturday to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler via Zoom after she issued a statement detailing her claims that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had a fiery phone call with former President Donald Trump as the violent insurrection was underway at the Capitol Jan. 6.

Herrera Beutler said Trump rebuffed McCarthy's calls to put an end to the violence. McCarthy pushed back, and Trump responded, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," Herrera Beutler said. In response to Raskin's call to testify, van der Veen called for the trial to end Saturday without witnesses. But if there will be witnesses, he said he will need "over 100 depositions," including of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris."None of these depositions should be done by Zoom. We didn't do this hearing by Zoom. These depositions should be done in person, in my office, in Philly-delphia," van der Veen said, to laughter in the chamber.

Sen. Patrick Leahy , the Senate president pro tempore who is presiding over the trial, called for order in the chamber.Filed Under:

That is one unhinged angry dood.....wow

Today America will have its Hermann Wilhelm Görings. It will have its outstanding, independant senators, and its spineless, puppet ones. Today we will know more about what the GOP is becoming. That knowledge will have names of senators on it. CNN

If you’re guilty and need acquittal Michael van der Vern and his firm are the team for you!

'None of these depositions should be done by Zoom. We didn't do this hearing by Zoom. These depositions should be done in person, in my office, in Philly-delphia,' van der Veen said, to laughter in the chamber.

just idiots all over the place

the first thing we do is .... all the lawyers

Let them call all the relevant witnesses, and make them testify live -- especially those close to Trump. No pre-recorded stuff except for impeachment of lying testimony.

Do you think the original attorneys that quit prior to the trial are sharing a collective sigh of relief?

Guess it's like Flori-Duh🌴

With a shmear?

This guy skillsets needed to be re-examined he is not of excellence plus it is a different type of case to put your honesty around.

And now he can't go anywhere in his hometown without hearing from everyone who recognizes him. Rest of his life, in this great city, he'll be reminded of his gaffe today. It's great, actually.

Don’t know why they’re laughing? U replay what u said? Go back to trying to get people off on parking violations. Let me help as I’m familiar with “Philly-Delphia”. It’s either/or: Philly or Philadelphia. PICK ONE EINSTEIN. What will Philly peeps say: “I’m dead but I still vote?”

So VanDerVeen wants to call a bunch of witnesses? Bring them on! Let’s get the facts out in public. Maybe MAGA will finally realize the truth about their leader. CallWitnesses impeachment veen
