House impeachment managers sent a letter to Donald Trump strongly suggesting the former president testify at the Senate impeachment trial.
The trial, slated to begin on Tuesday of next week, involves a charge from the House that Trump incited a mob of supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
A formal response from Trump’s lawyers “denied” that he “ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” and instead he, “at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-MD) essentially defied Trump to prove his innocence in his own words.
“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,” Raskin wrote.

Letter from President Trump to the liars on the left who cheated their way to capital hill.
Dear pretenders, we are a country based on the constitution so I suggest you fine a copy and read it. It will take you a few months to read and understand all the big words and new concepts so I will hear from you again then.
Between now and then and forever more,
YOU CAN KISS MY ASS.
I DO NOT HAVE TO TESTIFY TO YOUR THIRD WORLD BANANA REPUBLIC PROCEDURES.
Hillary set that standard when she refused to answer questions about her illegal unprotected server before congress.
Separation of powers bitches.
Yep. Violation of the 5th amendment. You have the right not to testify.

And Trump already said “No way, no how.” So unless the Democrats want to subpoena Trump then they’ll have to limp along without him.
Too late.
That's in criminal cases. This is civil.
That's in criminal cases. This is civil.
It’s neither. It’s an unconstitutional inquisition held by a kangaroo court masquerading as an impeachment.
In other words, about average for 'MenRec'.
MenRec: Yesterday’s news, the day after tomorrow!
He’s being accused of inciting a riot. How is this civil?
No, if you refuse to be tested, they can still use video evidence. But in Tennessee, if you refuse to be tested, you automatically lose your DL for a year. It’s the implied consent law.
He's being impeached. That's civil.
He's being impeached. That's civil.He's no longer a public official. Nothing "civil" about it.
They’re toying with him. The plan is for one RAT to ask a question. He speaks two words. Another RAT interrupts and shuts him down with that phrase — something like “redeem my time”. They just want to make a fool of him.
And these are the people who condemn bullying — the biggest bullies known to mankind.
Tell the democrats to read the Constitution. There is no way they will get Trump to testify. He knows where he stands. He is much smarter than to be forced into turning this thing into a complete circus. I am sure the democrats will do just fine by themselves.
AMEN
80 MILLION TIMES AMEN
