Показать описание
Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked President Donald Trump’s legal team whether the president has the authority to conduct foreign policy. His comments came in opposition to House managers who argued Trump was acting against the nation’s interest when he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Trump team lawyer Patrick Philbin said the president is given the power to direct foreign policy. “What this all boils down to is it shows this case is built on a policy difference,” Philbin said.
Senators had their first chance to ask questions of the House managers and President Donald Trump’s legal team on Wednesday, Jan. 29. That came after both sides were given three days, respectively, to present their case. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The questions come ahead of a vote on whether to bring forward witnesses and documents as part of the Senate trial. The Senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office.
