Impeachment: Republicans Slam Trump But Back Him For Senate Acquittal.
US President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22, 2020. JIM WATSON / AFPLeading Republicans took to the talk show circuit Sunday to defend their expected acquittal of US President Donald Trump at his Senate trial next week — despite offering sharp criticism of his role in the Ukraine scandal.
The Tennessee senator suggested Trump had been naive in asking a foreign ally to look into Biden and his son Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine, which Republicans have claimed without evidence were corrupt.Trump is all but assured of being acquitted at only the third impeachment trial of a US president, with Republicans holding 53 seats in the Senate to 47 for the Democrats. A two-thirds majority, or 67 senators, is needed to remove him from office.
Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher suggested Trump’s conduct had forced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand when she would rather not have started impeachment proceedings. Bolton reportedly says in a forthcoming book Trump told him military aid to Ukraine was tied to Kiev’s investigating Biden — corroborating the central claim against the president.
