One of Donald Trump’s lawyers has denounced the impeachment case Democrats are building against him as 'offensive'
She continued:"The defence argued on Tuesday that the insurrectionists were acting on their own, not incited bybut that is not the case - they said they came here because the president instructed them to do so.
She added:"Donald Trump had sent them there. They were saying 'our president wants us here - we wait and we take orders from our president'." And he pointed out the attack had happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying seven House members tested positive after"hiding for our lives in cramped quarters for long periods of time," at least 38 Capitol police officers tested positive or were exposed - and nearly 200 National Guard troops also contracted the virus.
For the first time in history, a US president is being tried for the second time by members of the country's upper house. She showed numerous social media messages from insurrectionists that said they were acting on behalf of"my president".
