1:25:05Now PlayingDonald Trump’s impeachment trial begins Tuesday, making him the third president in U.S. history to face possible removal from office by the Senate. He is charged with abusing his office and obstructing the House investigation of his actions.
The House impeachment managers said in a reply to Trump’s trial brief that if the Senate doesn’t convict and remove him from office, “he will have succeeded in placing himself above the law.”
“President Trump’s view that he cannot be held accountable, except in an election he seeks to fix in his favor, underscores the need for the Senate to exercise its solemn constitutional duty to remove President Trump from office,” the managers said.
They said Trump’s defense consists of “bluster and evasion, which amount to the frightening assertion that he may commit whatever misconduct he wishes.”
Saying that the president hasn’t offered any witnesses or documents in his defense, the House members said, “This is not how an innocent person behaves.”
