'We can see a pattern here. President Trump solicited interference from Russia as a candidate in 2016, and then his campaign welcomed Russian interference in the election,' House manager Schiff said in opening remarks Friday in the Senate impeachment trial
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, one of the House impeachment managers, suggested President Trump's actions involving Ukraine are an attack on America's character.
In his opening argument, the New York Democrat detailed the Democrats' evidence against the President. "There's a toxic mess at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, and I humbly suggest that it's our collective job on behalf of the American people to try to clean it up," Jeffries said."President Trump tried to cheat. He got caught, and then he worked hard to cover it up."
He then went through a series of transformative events in American history, saying,"Whenever America has found itself in a tough spot, we always make it to the other side.""America is a great country. We can handle adversity better than any other nation in the world, but what are we going to do about our character? President Trump tried to cheat and solicit foreign interference in an American election. That is an attack on our character.
