Donald Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly refused to say when the former president knew about violence that erupted during the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
As his attorneys wrapped up their defence of the ex-president against an article of impeachment that now looks to be decided as early as Saturday, they were asked more than once, when he learned of of the nature of the violence, and the physical threat to his vice president, and the members of both houses of Congress.
In questions asked of Mr Trump’s lawyers after they had completed their presentation, Republicans senators Susan Collins and Murkowski, asked “exactly when did president Trump learn of the breach of the Capitol, and what specific actions did he take to bring the rioting to an end”.

I believe it was the case handlers job to establish the facts of the case not the defense. The Democrats in the House rushed the case forward with out establishing some primary facts of the case. Well if you don’t do your job I guess your fall back is to ask the opposition to do your job!

Day 2 ended in procedural chaos as Senator Mike Lee asked for his name to be struck from the...
The Republican senator objected to testimony that cited him as a source for a conversation that former President Donald J. Trump had during the Capitol attack.

Capt Gregory Prickett - thank you for the compliment Capt Prickett. Do you understand you should prepare to present your case? Can a lawyer present hearsay evidence that isn’t true in ANY legal preceding? Clearly the Democrats presented erroneous information and should have checked but we will depend on the legal giants among us to keep us on the straight and narrow, thank you for the help.

Capt Gregory Prickett - The prosecution presented the BS cut and paste first, the defense responded in kind. When is lying in any court, trial etc. OK? Mike Lee sad he never said what the House managers said he said. Of course this really isn’t a trial, it is political theater and the outcome is exactly what one would expect, Trump was acquitted.
