56:47Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Patrick Philbin, a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team, said the president was not given due process during the House impeachment inquiry, saying he was “locked out” of nearly all parts of the investigation. But Philbin said the Senate should not “redo” what the House failed to do, by calling new witnesses because it would set a bad precedent for future impeachments. Philbin further argued that Trump did not obstruct Congress by defending himself using the court system. Trump’s defense team is presenting their arguments as part of the Senate impeachment trial. The trial has entered a pivotal week as his defense team resumes its case and senators face a critical vote on whether to hear witnesses or proceed directly to a vote that is widely expected to end in his acquittal. The articles of impeachment charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The House of Representatives impeached the president in December on those two counts.
