Trump Refuses Offer To Testify

Lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin sent a letter to Trump's attorney Thursday requesting that Trump testify before or during the upcoming impeachment trial.

Two days ago, you filed an Answer in which you denied many factual allegations set forth in the article of impeachment. You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue notwithstanding the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense. In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on January 6, 2021.

Trump's attorneys immediately refused:

The use of our Constitution to bring a purported impeachment proceeding is much too serious to try to play these games.

Will Raskin try to issue a subpoena, compelling Trump to testify under oath? He's got nothing to hide, right? 🤣

Well he's RIGHT isn't he ?

No defence Attorney would actively encourage his client to 'create the rope' with which they want to hang him ! 😁

If you think you have a case Mr. Raskin i suggest you lay it before the court
😁

Silly-sod legal games from folk who should know better
