Democrats prosecuting US President Donald Trump urge the Senate to convict him ahead of the crucial vote
US Senator Roy Blunt speaks to the press at the US Capitol during a break in US President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial in Washington, US, February 3, 2020.
The trial's outcome will have a lasting effect "not only for this president but for all future presidents: whether or not the office of the presidency of the United States of America is above the law," Crow added. "What the House Democrats have done to this nation, to the Constitution, to the office of the president, to the president himself and to this body is outrageous. They have cheapened the awesome power of impeachment."Sekulow called the impeachment drive reckless, said neither of the charges brought against Trump represent an impeachable offence and accused Democrats of seeking to negate the 2016 election won by Trump and to subvert the will of the American people.
Representative Adam Schiff, who heads the Democratic prosecution team, said that Trump, if left in office, would continue to seek foreign interference in the Nov. 3 election in which he is asking voters to give him four more years as president. Biden is a leading contender for the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump.No withness
