The trial of President Donald Trump is expected to run for six days per week with the first session expected to thrash out an organising resolution before opening arguments in the process are heard. Witness testimony and the presentation of new documentary evidence could prove a sticking point as the two sides square off.
The trial will also showcase the President’s direct defense of the charges for the first time with criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz, better known for defending O.J. Simpson and Mike Tyson along with White House Counsel Pat Cipollone among others expected to argue that President Trump’s actions are not impeachable offences.
Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, “We have asked for four fact witnesses and three specific sets of relevant documents. The witnesses are not Democrats. They are the president’s men, his top advisers who he appointed. The documents are not Democratic documents. They are just documents. Period. Every Senate impeachment trial in our history, all 15 that were brought to completion, featured witnesses, every single one.
