Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump presented their defense to absolve him of the accusations of incitement to storm the Congress building last month, considering his accountability as a "political revenge" from the Democrats.
Reuters quoted attorney Michael van der Vein as saying that accountability before the Senate is an unfair and unconstitutional measure and an act of political revenge in confirmation of the polarization that the United States experiences between Democrats and most Republicans.
Yesterday, Democrat prosecutors called on US senators to condemn Trump as “incompetent” for inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol building, warning that he “will do the same in the event he returns to power.”
According to experts, the outcome of Trump's trial appears to be settled in advance in favor of acquitting the latter, as his conviction requires a two-thirds majority, which seems almost impossible to happen in light of the clear division between the Republican and Democratic parties in Congress, and despite the possibility of a number of Republicans voting to condemn Trump, it is difficult to reach the required number, which is, 67 MPs, ”so Trump has every opportunity to acquit him again.
