Trump impeachment lawyer claims innocence Jan 26 4:24
The U.S. president's impeachment trial over Ukrainian allegations began with an "opening statement" by the president's lawyers, asserting the president's innocence as "doing nothing wrong."
An impeachment trial to decide whether to dismiss President Trump over Ukrainian suspicions was made on the 25th by an "opening statement" by the President's defense team.
The White House's lawyer, Sipolone, who led the defense team, said that the opposition and Democrats had a record of a telephone talk between President Trump and Ukraine's President Zelensky, who led to the impeachment. He criticized the DPJ's response, saying that it only disclosed good parts.
"The Democrats are not only trying to upset the results of the last presidential election, but are also trying to eliminate President Trump from the impending election about nine months later. The president has done nothing wrong. "And claimed the innocence of the President.
The lawyer's "opening statement" is assigned a maximum of 3 days and a total of 24 hours, but on weekends when there are few people watching TV, it is difficult to appeal to the public, so the "opening statement" on the first day is only 2 hours. It ended with too much.
The Opening Statement will resume on Wednesday, highlighting how compelling the defense of the President's defense lawyers can be.
