WATCH: Dershowitz argues legal scholars are ‘influenced by their own bias’ | Trump impeachment trial
Trump’s first impeachment - 2020
A member of President Donald Trump’s defense team argued that legal scholars who argue presidents can be impeached on abuse of power “are influenced by their own bias, by their own politics and their views should be taken with that in mind.” Alan Dershowitz’s comments came as senators had their first chance to ask questions of the House managers and Trump’s legal team on Wednesday, Jan. 29. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The questions come ahead of a vote on whether to bring forward witnesses and documents as part of the Senate trial. The senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office.
