WestVirginiaRebel Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 NY Post House Democrats argued Friday that President Trump improperly obstructed Congress’ probe of his interactions with Ukraine — their final day of openings in the impeachment trial before Republicans take up his defense against the charges. The seven Democratic managers, led by Rep. Adam Schiff, a former federal prosecutor and chair of the House Intelligence Committee, were trying to make the case to the GOP-led Senate — and the American public — that Trump is guilty of obstructing Congress for allegedly withholding key witnesses and documents from lawmakers. New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries told the senators that the president got caught asking Ukraine’s government to dig up dirt on former veep Joe Biden, the frontrunner so far for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination — and then tried to cover it up. “At the heart of [the Constitution’s] Article 2, obstruction of Congress, is a simple troubling reality. President Trump tried to cheat. He got caught, and then he worked hard to cover it up,” Jeffries said. _______ Democrats' last stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
