Trump Impeachment Lawyer: ‘Stolen’ Election Claims Won’t Be Brought Up During Trial

An attorney for former President Donald Trump said he won’t bring up claims about election fraud while defending the former president during the upcoming impeachment trial.

“There are plenty of questions about how the election was conducted throughout the country, but that’s for a different forum, and I don’t believe that’s important to litigate in the Senate trial because you don’t need it,” attorney Bruce Castor told KYW Newsradio Philadelphia. “President Trump has plenty to win with what he has.”

Castor also pushed back against reports that Trump parted ways with his initial legal team about whether they would advance his claims about election fraud.

“I don’t know where people got that notion that was some sort of litmus test to get to defend the president, because as you saw from the document I filed, which had to be approved by the president personally, there isn’t anything in there about the election being stolen,” Castor said.

Castor and fellow Trump lawyer David Schoen filed a response to House Democratic impeachment managers on Feb. 2, arguing that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional because Trump doesn’t currently hold office. They also argued that Trump has a First Amendment right to express his views about the accuracy of the election results.

Democrats argued that Trump’s speech wasn’t constitutionally protected and said it incited an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

DEMON-RATS just make up the rules as they go along.  THAT SHIFFTY SHIFT...LYING speech, that he claimed POTUS said was a total lie.  Making up shyt. Then we had the phone transcripts.   DEMON-RATS said SHIFFTY SHIFT was protected by him being in congress.  CAN'T BE SUED or held liable.  BUT a POTUS CAN'T BE PROTECTED THE SAME WAY?   

Nothing POTUS said inspired any rioting at capitol.  IT IS ALWAYS ANTIFA/BLM...and demon-rats who incite violence.

MAXINE WATERS....screaming to impeach "foty fiv". ....before his inauguration and to get into TRUMP SUPPORTERS faces and republicans in public.  Republicans were then harassed at restaurants and at their homes. Is all of congress insane and evil?
