Trump's Lawyers Defend Him at Senate Impeachment Trial

Wayne Lee

   WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team began presenting
   counterarguments Saturday in the Senate after House impeachment
   managers wrapped up three days of closing arguments in Trump's historic
   Senate impeachment trial.

   White House Counsel Pat Cipollone began presenting Trump's defense by
   declaring the Democratic House managers failed to achieve their
   objective."

   We don't believe that they have come anywhere close to meeting their
   burden for what they're asking you to do," Cipollone said.

   Cipollone also reiterated an often-repeated criticism of the
   Democratic-led impeachment proceedings that they would nullify Trump's
   2016 election win and reduce choices for voters before the upcoming
   November presidential election."
