4:41Now PlayingTrump lawyer Bruce Castor said House impeachment managers spent long hours showing “how horrific the attack on the United States Capitol was” and “no time at all in connecting legally the attack at the Capitol to the 45th president of the United States.”
Castor called Trump “the most pro-police, anti-mob president’ in history and showed scenes of violence that erupted at some Black Lives Matter protests, suggesting Democrats excused those excesses.
Trump didn’t incite violence because he deplores “rioters and political violence,” Castor said.
He also said the attack on the Capitol didn’t meet the definition of an “insurrection” as an organized coup. “Insurrection is a term of art. It’s defined in the law,” Castor said. “It involves taking over a country, a shadow government, taking the TV stations over and having some plan on what you’re going to do when you finally take power. Clearly this is not that.”
