January 25, 2020 "If the attempt to remove Donald Trump from his position fails, this would pose a serious and long-term threat to democracy in America": is the final appeal with which Adam Schiff , the president of the House Intelligence Committee, ended the three days in the Senate in which the prosecution motivated the reasons for the impeachment of the American president. "If the President is allowed to say that the Constitution authorizes him to do what he wants - said Schiff - an endless wound would be inflicted on the country". From today the word goes to the lawyers who defend the tycoon.

"This is Trump First, not America First," Schiff said: "I ask you, I implore you to allow witnesses to come and speak here in the courtroom," he continued, addressing Republican senators. "We need to give America a fair trial, that's what America deserves."

Trump's stolen audio
The stolen audio in which Donald Trump would hear the removal of the former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was handed over to the House Intelligence Committee for consideration.

The lawyers of Lev Parnas, the former partner of Rudolph Giuliani who would be the author of the recording made during a private dinner in April 2018, delivered it. The audio could strengthen the request of the Democrats to admit new evidence. and testimonies to the impeachment process underway in the Senate.

In the audio you can hear Trump's voice say "kick her out". The reference is to the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, for the accusers of Trump torpedoed because considered unwelcome by the White House and an obstacle to pressure on the Kiev government to launch investigations into Biden and the US democrats.

The registration, released by ABC News, dates back to April 30, 2018, a year before the former ambassador was actually called back, and captures an interview between the American president and the two partners of Rudolph Giuliani involved in the Ukrainagate. These are Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who the tycoon has always denied having known despite there are some photos that portray him together with the two. "We have to get rid of it right away tomorrow, I don't care, okay?" Trump insists on the audio.

Trump denies that he ordered Lev Parnas, the former partner of his lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, to remove the former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. He said this in an interview with Fox News commenting on the news of the stolen audio in which his voice would be heard saying to Parnas "kick her out". But the American president added: "I have every right to hire or fire an ambassador."
