In Trump impeachment trial, Nadler presses case by quoting Lindsey Graham — from 1999 by writerknowles
Rep. Jerry Nadler pressed the House’s impeachment case against President Trump in the Senate Thursday, using the words of one of Trump’s most ardent defenders — who is also a juror in the ongoing trial — to make the case that a president need not have committed a crime in order to be removed from office.
Nadler used the same tactic with retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is expected to argue on Trump’s behalf that impeachment requires proof that a law was broken, replaying a 1988 clip of the legal scholar saying the opposite on “Larry King Live.” Trump’s Republican supporters in Congress have repeatedly stated that the president has not been accused of committing a crime and therefore cannot be removed from office. Democrats have cited a finding by the Government Accountability Office — which was only made public after the articles of impeachment had been already approved by the House — that the Trump administration broke the law by withholding nearly $400 million in congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine.
