With his impeachment now all-but-certain, President Trump and his allies are beginning to look past the House of Representatives, shifting their sights to the Republican-led Senate where the President will face trial.

Trump, who as recently as Wednesday lamented impeachment as a"dirty word," has struggled to accept the prospect of becoming the third President in history to be impeached. But the President and White House officials are now signaling they will mount a robust defense in the Senate and look to turn the tables on Democrats during the President's trial -- including by digging in on the President's unsubstantiated claims of corruption leveled at former Vice President Joe Biden.

"We will win!"Trump and his allies were also quick to signal that they view the trial in the Republican-controlled Senate as an opportunity to score political points and deflect from the central allegations Trump is facing. Just as Trump pointed to a wish-list of Democrats he would see questioned during a Senate trial, his campaign manager relished the prospect of a"fair trial in the Senate" and the opportunity to"expose the Swamp for what it is.

Why cant they leave the best president alone,give they guy a bit of peace.he has been and still a great president,so many jobs created..

The day Trump is impeached should be a global holiday

Another income sentence. Should read, '.... where the President will face trial and be acquitted.'

Y’all 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣😂

It’s going to be the shortest trial in history because there is absolutely no evidence/facts against him. What a bunch of malarkey!

I think the Senate should call three witnesses, vote by noon and adjourn by afternoon tea. Then spend the rest of the day watching House Dems go apoplectic.

Lol. It’s so easy. He’s not guilty. He’s just sloppy. Not a crime

This might force both Rubio and Scott to stick their necks out on a vote. But Rick Scott has a much longer neck.

Why have a trail? The SenateGOP are already prepared to sham the proceedings.

Impeach remove indict & then Lock Him Up

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHhhHa desperate Democrats will be crushed in the Senate.

All but certain? Put down the crack pipe.

you are Fake news...

Better buy Brett a case of beer.

Fake impeachment dead ahead! Let’s go folks

The first US impeachment attempt on a purely partisan basis.

Best president ever Donald Trump's

Republicans, if your afraid of speaking out against Trump, don't be afraid be a real man! And your biggest fear should be the people, all the people 40% maybe Trump supporters, 60% most likely against Trump think about it!

His haircut should be grounds for impeachment

This will be epic!! Rs subpoena Bidens, Shifty, Ciaremella (ooops whistleblower) and others. Then when they fail to testify people who don’t already realize how biased and ridiculous this charade is will!! Bye bye Democratic Party!!

The Senate will show democrats in the House what a fair trial should look like. The Senate is a farce killer.

Of course he is the Senate has been neutered by Trump.

Should be interesting seeing as the republicans are party over country and trump donations over everything. Theyre all corrupt and are an embarassment to government and the people they supposedly serve!

Barack Hussein obama should be one of the witnesses the president calls. After all, when Ukraine questioned Biden’s authority to withhold that billion dollars, he replied, “call him(obama).”

For now Republican supporters have nothing to worry about Trump isn't going to be removed. However, his mental decline will be in display for everyone to see when the debates start...so, I don't think Republicans are doing him any favors by not removing him.

Waiting for EricCiaramella and Hunter to be called. Trump in an electoral landslide. CNN like Pelosi sucks

President Trump did nothing wrong. Trump2020. I didn't vote for him in 2016, but I'll rectify THAT mistake in 2020!

Shorter Headline: Trump will be re-elected and not removed. ImpeachmentHoax CNNisFakenews ExposeCNN

do nothing-dems will never vote for impeachment bc its suicide. if dems want suicide, we the voters will give them the mondale-treatment. dems have nothing but presumptions n a.s.s.--allegations speculations smoke. impeach w/a.s.s.?

Lmao the ratio of this tweet.

If he was investigating Ukraine for CORRUPTION Before released aid! Why didn't he do it in 17, 18 aid he released? BS Why does he need scotus to fight to keep his taxes sealed? What is he hiding? tax fraud? moneylaundering ? Etc.

DNC run CNN hits ratings low with ImpeachmentHoax: Breaking Breakingnews FakenewsCNN

After the Senate refuses to remove Trump from office and Trump goes back to his bad behavior can he be impeached a second time? 😲😱

What is going to happen when those criminals in the Senate refuse to even hold a legitimate trial that the American people are DEMANDING? I'm worried. US citizens will not tolerate another 4 years under trump.

I can't wait. The GOP in the Senate can call witnesses, and I'm hoping they start with Eric Calamari (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more).

Setting sights is the code for blackmailing them into compliance

Republicans will vote to dismiss the Democrat bullshit and our country will get back to business! Unless the Republicans decide to put RepAdamSchiff , SpeakerPelosi , RepJerryNadler and the Whistleblower on trial...which is what they all deserve!

yes that is mainly trump's base that trump is taking foods stamps from,let trump buy their food,i want my tax money to help the poor and sick not to give it to billionaires like trump's tax break did !!

Get it on... first wittiness, Adam Schiff!

Biden says he will not appear at Senate impeachment trial despite demands from TrumpA top White House official said Wednesday that Pres. Trump is demanding a full trial, featuring live witnesses in the Senate chamber if and when the House sends over articles of impeachment to the Senate later this month. He just realized how serious the whole thing is? So is he going to testify in his own defense or allow first hand witnesses like Pompeii, mulvaney and Giuliani? If not he’s still just a bag of farts! Democrats realizing they opened a can of worms they don't control. LMAO. Can't wait to see the witness list.
