Donald Trump
Lawyers for the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, considered the impeachment case against the former head of the White House unconstitutional, and also compared what was happening with a theater. Reported by the Associated Press.
According to lawyers, the process itself is an act of “political theater” by the representatives of the Democratic Party. In a note filed on Monday, February 8, ahead of the impeachment trial, the former head of state's lawyers criticized the case for several reasons. They pointed to his unconstitutionality and called on the Senate to acquit Trump.
Earlier it was reported that the majority of Americans (56 percent) supported the impeachment of the former US president and the ban for him to hold any public office. At the same time, 43 percent of the country's residents opposed this initiative.
On January 14, the US House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump over the riots in Washington. The last vote was the second attempt to remove Trump from office. Democrats motivate the decision to impeach Trump, including by the fact that after the end of the process, he will not be able to run for president. This is the first time the US has attempted to remove a state leader from office after the end of his presidential term.
