LIVE VIDEO: Trump’s Lawyers Present Their Defense

CBS News reports:

Former President Trump’s legal team will mount their defense on Friday, the fourth day of the second Senate impeachment trial against him. They plan to conclude their arguments in a single day. Both sides will then field questions from senators before lawmakers consider any requests for witnesses or admission of additional evidence.

If the House managers decline to seek witness testimony, the trial could conclude with a vote on whether to convict or acquit as early as this weekend.

House Democrats leading Mr. Trump’s prosecution concluded their arguments Thursday, zeroing in on his words and actions in the run-up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol to urge senators to find him guilty.

Start time 11AM. I’ll bump up this post all day.

Jason Miller makes clear on Newsmax that Bruce Castor WILL have a speaking role today. He says his arguments are “crisper” and “tighter” and adds that the defense team reviewed their plan with Trump last night. They will go about four hours.
