President Trump’s legal team has called on the Senate for an acquittal, while arguing the impeachment trial is unconstitutional.
In a brief filed with the House Tuesday, defense attorneys noted Trump cannot be tried for impeachment because he is no longer the sitting president. They also argued his January 6 speech was protected by the First Amendment and he did not engage in insurrection or rebellion.
Trump’s legal team said the Senate has no jurisdiction over whether he can hold office again and the House Articles of Impeachment were improperly drafted.
The response came after the House Democrats filed their brief early Tuesday. The trial is set to start next Tuesday.

The dims just can’t get Trump off their minds...
Gee Donald what about those 3 new justices you put in place. It turns out that they are just a lawless as the rest and would probably rule against you in this matter.
And President Trump will GREATLY benefit from that type of approach from the Dems.
The more of the public who witnesses him being "Ganged up" on the stronger his support grows.
It's almost second nature to want to support David rather than Goliath.
You’re not the only one asking THAT question.
NOT A SOLICITATION SINCE I DID NOT GIVE A LINK. DO A SEARCH AND MAKE SOME FUN PUBLIC COMMENTS.
TRUMP 2020 BOWLING BALL — CUSTOM DESIGNED ONE OF A KIND POLITICAL MEMORABILIA. Condition is “Used”. It will ship free to buyer by ground with one of the two big private shippers. It is a great keepsake to remind everyone of the stolen election. Sure, there is no problem changing state law without the legislature just before an election or driving down 200K ballots from NY to Pennsylvania in a trailer or stopping counting in the middle of the night or a fake water main break or underage voters or out of state voters or Trump votes ending up in dumpsters or more votes counted than actual votes cast or ballot harvesting or not verifying signatures or blocking the view of observers or ballots that mysteriously appeared with only a vote for President or votes counted that arrived late. We all saw what happened.
This ball is a work of art. I spent probably 40 hours designing and redesigning it. It is a spare ball and made of plastic, which is a typical ball of choice for right handers who want to more consistently pick up a dreaded 10 pin or lefties for a 7 pin. Unlike a performance ball, it does not hook.
The ball was actually briefly seen in a TRUMP 2020 rap video along with decorated bowling pins. For some time I tried to score an invitation to the White House bowling alley, but I just could not make the right contact. I doubt that the guy with dementia will make an invitation unless it is a set up to put me in confinement. He is lucky if he can remember how to get to the residence floor to go to bed. If I ask the press secretary for an invitation, will she circle back to me? I wonder if John Kerry could deliver it in his private jet that emitted about 116 metric tons of carbon last year. You an I only account for about 5 metric tons.
The TRUMP 2020 ball is absolutely one of a kind. The company that made it would not make another without a licensing agreement with the Trump organization. Many of my friends wanted one.
There are a few marks on it, but it was hardly used since the China Virus shut down bowling alleys. A non-abrasive cleaner may be helpful to take off some oil from the lanes.
Reason for selling: I am selling off many of my possessions to acquire a parcel of land in the desert where I will build an undergound bunker, a Faraday cage, and attempt to get off the grid as did Gene Hackman in ENEMY OF THE STATE.
WARNING: if you purchase this ball, I will not be responsible if you are sent to re-education camp.
We all know where the country is heading. I just got my letter that my camp is in Visalia, CA. Thank goodness it was not one of the urban Third World hellholes run by Democrat mayors. Thanks, Neil, Brett, and Amy for not hearing the massive amount of evidence. Why did we even bother fighting for you? And what the heck happened to Roberts? For all those “educated” in a failing public school and were never assigned to read “1984,” get a copy. We are living it.
If they think the trial is unconstitutional then why are they pushing for a trial and acquittal? Shouldn't they be pushing for a dismissal and no trial at all?
Trump should make an office at his hotel there in Washington DC. Have a daily press conference every day of this travesty.
“They will hold a trial and any witnesses for Trump will be prevented from revealing evidence. This trial will be tightly controlled”
Trumps lawyers are probably full
aware of this, which is why they
would be asking for a dismissal.
The Rats aren’t going to let the
truth come out.
That we should expect.
IMO, the only reason Team Trump is referring to this event as a "trial" and using terms such as "dismissal", "acquittal", "evidence" etc., is because they know they have the votes to prevail.
Otherwise, it is a "court" without either authority, a judge or personal jurisdiction, presided over by a political hack of a bogus "prosecutor". (Even without the votes I do not believe the results of this hearing would disqualify Trump from running again; unless, of course, the USSC is effectively expanded by Biden-Harris.)
Who would willingly agree to play in a rigged card game unless they knew they could win?
Winning in this case will be walking away after demonstrating the behavior and incompetency of the Socialist Dems. Let them deny Trump an effective or complete defense, let them conduct a show trial, it will serve a good purpose.
Solid Idea!
