Trump Impeachment Defense

FILE - In this Jan. 6, 2016, file photo attorney David Schoen, speaks at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Former President Donald Trump stands trial before the Senate on an impeachment charge that accuses him of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. His lawyers foreshadowed in a 78-page memorandum on Monday a range of legal and factual arguments they intend to make at trial. Among those arguments is that the trial is prohibited by the Constitution, that Trump did not incite the riot at the Capitol and that his words are protected by the First Amendment.
