There is a complete lack of evidence on the article of impeachment against Donald Trump, his lawyers told the United States Senate on Friday. They asserted that he was a law-and-order president and his speech did not cause the January 6 riots at the Capitol. Team Trump argued that Democrats' real goal was taking "vengeance" and "canceling" the right-wing populist's movement. They termed the impeachment an "unjust and blatantly unconstitutional act of political vengeance". Senators, who act as jurors in impeachment trials, were next due to question the two sides, with a verdict expected to come by the weekend at the latest.
