The document said the impeachment articles failed to allege any crime and were a “brazen” attempt to interfere with the 2020 presidential elections.
UNITED States President Donald Trump’s legal team has issued its first formal response to the impeachment charges against him, describing them as a “dangerous attack” on democracy.
The House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats, impeached the president last month. The Senate, controlled by Trump’s Republican Party, will decide whether to convict and remove him from office. They said the president had “abandoned his oath to faithfully execute the laws and betrayed his public trust”, and called his conduct the “worst nightmare” of the country’s founding fathers.The six-page response outlines the defence the president’s legal team expects to use in the upcoming impeachment trial.
