Trump requested to testify at impeachment trial

[Top Cat]

(CNN)The House impeachment managers on Thursday requested Donald Trump testify at his upcoming Senate impeachment trial, in a dramatic move to try to get the former President on the record about his conduct surrounding the January 6 riots at the Capitol.
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin sent a letter to Trump's attorney Thursday requesting that Trump testify before or during the upcoming impeachment trial, which begins on Tuesday, arguing that his testimony was needed after he disputed the House's allegations that he incited the insurrection at the Capitol.
"Two days ago, you filed an Answer in which you denied many factual allegations set forth in the article of impeachment," Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, wrote. "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."

LOL What a circus that would be.

If he gets on the stand, surely he will lie his ass off. He can't help himself. No way his legal team would allow it. But will they have a choice?

Dollars to donuts he won't show. I really wish the media would stop using his picture or name when reporting. Former president or #45 works for me.

My have to gag him and tie him to a chair, ala Bobby Seale.

It would be fun to watch him. he can't help himself he'll lie and rant and go off about alleged fraud.

But does he have the option to refuse to attend, or like court is it compulsory?

He'll take the 5th.

 

[tanj]

the only reason to do that is to run a perjury trap.

 

[tanj]

He'll take the 5th.

that signature line after the democrats have had a 4 year running temper tantrum.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

He'll take the 5th.

I can see that going poorly, he would start blithering after the 4th question asked

During the Mueller his lawyers did a practice session with him to see how it would go if he allowed an in person interview under oath. Not good. One lawyer who worked with Trump suggested he'd leave an interrogation in an orange jumpsuit.

OMG! I thought I was the only one referencing the Chicago 7 trial to this 2nd Trump impeachment trial.

No, my friend. The trumpublicans had a 4 year crime spree unchecked. Republicans can't lead they can only enrich themelves and tear the nation down.

Now it looks like he's not going to testify at all... not surprising.. he's a little criminal bitch.

 

[year2late]

Might help him tell the truth, but he does not drink.

 

[exoplanet]

He's refused to testify voluntarily. Now we'll see if they subpoena him.

ah yes. the crime spree with no evidence.

NOT going to happen!

Trump's legal team quickly responded by rejecting the invitation in a terse response to the House impeachment team, putting the decision back on the Democrats over whether to try to compel Trump's testimony with a subpoena.

Then subpoena him! He has no special privilege in that regard.

Not surprising - trump's not going to testify - and somehow his supporters will turn that cowardly move into a "heroic act". Trumpublicans just need to get out of the way and let the Dems repair their damage done over the past 5 years!

 

[lurchadams]

ah yes. the crime spree with no evidence.

Delusional post - dismissed.

 

[OrphanSlug]

Key word, “requested.”

But who cares anyway? This is going to be a shit show deluxe without Trump adding to the mess.

 

[Helix]

subpoena him.

Careful what you wish for. Many on the left were begging Trump to run for President, thinking it would also be a circus.
