Legal team of Donald Trump has accused House Democrats of indulging in political theater. Lawyers also said that the impeachment trial that is going to begin very soon is unconstitutional because they say Trump is no more a President.
Trump's lawyers in a pre-trial brief filed on Monday said, "This was only ever a selfish attempt by Democratic leadership in the House to prey upon the feelings of horror and confusion that fell upon all Americans across the entire political spectrum upon seeing the destruction at the Capitol on January 6 by a few hundred people." It has been mentioned in a report of CNN.
The brief further added, "Instead of acting to heal the nation, or at the very least focusing on prosecuting the lawbreakers who stormed the Capitol, the Speaker of the House and her allies have tried to callously harness the chaos of the moment for their own political gain."
In response to the filing of the Trump's team, house impeachment managers filed their response. They added, "The evidence of President Trump's conduct is overwhelming. He has no valid excuse or defense for his actions. And his efforts to escape accountability are entirely unavailing," the House managers write. "As charged in the Article of Impeachment, President Trump violated his Oath of Office and betrayed the American people. His incitement of insurrection against the United States government -- which disrupted the peaceful transfer of power -- is the most grievous constitutional crime ever committed by a president."
According to the House breif, Trump can stand trial because he allegedly committed crime while he was holding office. The lawyers of Donald Trump argued that the comment made by Trump in which he was seen saying fight like hell were not literal.
