Former President Trump’s impeachment lawyer blasted the trial arguing that Senate Democrats have already jumped to the conclusion that Trump is guilty of "incitement of insurrection."
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, David Schoen, one of two attorneys who will represent Trump, said the “process is completely unconstitutional and it is a very, very dangerous road to take with respect to the First Amendment, putting at risk any passionate political speaker which is really against everything we believe and in this country."
He went on to call it “the most ill-advised legislative action that I’ve seen in my lifetime.”
Beyond that, there is no impartiality among the Senate Democrats and Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy, who will preside over the proceedings.
