His lawyers brush off former national security adviser John Bolton's explosive allegations.
Amid uncertainty over the key question of whether to call witnesses in President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial, Trump's legal team wrapped up its opening arguments on Tuesday with an appeal for a quick acquittal.
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer, a conservative defender of Trump who opposes witnesses, said Republicans were"mostly united. I'm pretty sure it's not unanimous. But I don't know what the numbers are." The Republican-controlled Senate is almost certain to acquit Trump, who has painted the impeachment proceedings on the campaign trail as an effort by Democrats to poison his re-election. His lawyers echoed that argument on Tuesday."Overturning past elections and massively interfering with the upcoming one would cause serious and lasting damage to the people of the United States and to our great country.
Sekulow underscored what fellow Trump legal team member Alan Dershowitz told senators late on Monday - that even if what Bolton says is true, it would not represent impeachable conduct.
