"A betrayal of historical proportions"
: this is how prosecutors describe
the conduct of Donald Trump.
"He has endangered the lives of all members of Congress by instigating supporters to revolt by loading them like a cannon aimed at the Capitol," it reads.
"It also threatened the constitutional system that protects fundamental freedoms, jeopardized a peaceful handover of power and compromised national security."
All this, the managers conclude, constitutes "a constitutional violation that legitimizes the exclusion from any future federal office".
Donald Trump's "individual responsibility" for the events of January 6 that led to the onslaught of Congress "is unequivocal", according to the managers who will represent the accusation during the impeachment trial of the former American president who will see the away next week.
Trump "threatened the constitutional system by instigating the revolt and his conduct must be declared unacceptable in the clearest and most absolute terms", say the managers, stressing that the former president "should be prohibited from holding future public office".
Disagreements over the strategy weren't the only reason the legal team tasked with defending Donald Trump in the impeachment trial crumbled within days of the trial.
According to Axios, the former president and head of the legal team, attorney Butch Bowers, had a fight over money.
The two initially agreed on a $ 250,000 defense fee, but Bowers didn't include many additional expenses, including new lawyers and investigators on the case, which rocketed the fee to $ 3 million, which has "infuriated" Trump.
The dispute over money thus added to the differences over strategy, which The Donald wanted - unlike the lawyers - to center on the theory of electoral fraud.
"These people are no longer relevant. We have our lawyers, we have a solid team and we look forward," Trump advisor Jason Miller told Axios.
