Trump’s attorneys issue a powerful response to the Articles of Impeachment
By Andrea Widburg

Anyone who has watched a Trump rally or followed Trump’s Twitter feed knows that he’s been open about his disdain for the House’s impeachment proceedings. However, now that the House formally delivered the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, Trump’s lawyers can finally make known the President’s official legal stand against the Democrats’ blatant political effort to overturn the 2016 election.

In five-and-a-half fiery pages, Jay Alan Sekulow and Pat A. Cipollone attack both the impeachment process and the legal and factual bases (or lack thereof) underlying the articles of impeachment. Sekulow and Cipollone understand that the real audience is the American people, so the document is written in ordinary English, not legalese.

The response is embedded in this blogpost, https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/01/president-trump-responds-harsh-brief-to-follow.php , via Scribd. It is not lengthy, and indicates that Trump's defense will focus on facts that disprove the articles' claims, as well as the fact that this impeachment is a shameful sham. or as the blogpost puts it,

The case for impeachment urged by the House brings to mind the immortal words of Fielding Mellish in the film Bananas. What we have here “is a travesty! It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham!”
