Trump defence lawyer Schoen reportedly lied about Democrats withholding video evidence

Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers have been accused of lying about having a video of the attacks on the US Capitol withheld.

David Schoen claimed that Democrats withheld video evidence of the Capitol attack prior to the impeachment hearings.

However, numerous news outlets are now reporting that sources speaking to them have confirmed that Mr Schoen was lying, and that the video was provided to the defence team.

Mr Schoen was referencing numerous videos that the impeachment managers used to highlight the violence at the US Capitol on the day of the insurrection.
