1:20Now PlayingTrump attorney David Schoen echoed House impeachment managers calling on senators -- the jurors -- to focus on the facts. But Schoen suggested they had jumped to conclusions, pointing out that House Democrats have called for fact-finding commissions to understand what happened on Jan. 6 and what motivated the mob that attacked the Capitol.
“How can these same Democrats have the certainty needed to bring articles of impeachment and blame President Trump?” Schoen asked.
The defense team presented a video of House impeachment managers citing reports about Jan. 6 and Trump’s conduct. Their use of the word “reportedly,” Schoen said, is “a euphemism for ‘I have no evidence’.”
“You get more due process than this when you fight a parking ticket,” Schoen said.
Schoen also accused the House managers of doctoring images of tweets and the video of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech.
