House impeachment manager asks Trump to provide testimony under oath for his Senate trial

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the lead House impeachment manager, asked former president Donald Trump on Thursday to provide testimony under oath “either before or during” his Senate trial scheduled next week. In a letter, Raskin asked for testimony about Trump’s conduct Jan. 6 when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol in a deadly assault

What are the odds that Trump will ever get near a Bible and swear to tell the truth, under penalty of perjury?

Not too high, eh?

He's being dared and that might be difficult for HUUGE Head Trump to resist defending and insisting that his BIG LIE was true....despite all evidence to the contrary.

If he agrees to testify, he can't plead the 5th as he's on record saying only the guilty plead the 5th. And this, “The mob takes the Fifth.” LOL

I wonder if any witnesses will be allowed. The republicans kept out first hand witnesses to Trump's phone call in the first trial. Can they do that again?

Trump’s lawyers announced that he won’t testify.

What a weenie.

;-)
 
Lindsey Graham and Trump's lawyers (or his first team of lawyers) screeched that videos shouldn't be allowed as testimony.
That's the tip off that they know how incriminating the videos will be.

Even law students would stop Trump from testifying, but how much is Trump chomping at the bit to say again the he WON?
Remember Trump never follows the advice of attorneys......and often doesn't even pay them.

We know the position of GOP senators from Trump’s first impeachment trial - all evidence should be prohibited.

As Trump Acquittal Seems Likely, Legal Team Prepares to Put Waters, Pelosi, Schumer 'On Trial' (msn.com)

So the tactic will be how can you convict Trump of inciting sedition when the democrats have done the same.

Good luck with taking Whataboutism to the trial. The big difference nobody acted on anything said by Waters or Pelosi and committed acts of violence. When someone said "I'd like to punch Trump in the mouth" it never happened.

Trump says "go to the capitol and fight like hell or you won't have a country"...they did.

CNN did an hour show chock full of video from Jan 6 and Trump's self-incriminating big mouth. It's probably a good source for the House impeachment trial managers

Since when do you have to testify against yourself? Your liberal idiots think they can overrule civil rights will have another thing coming. They impeached the President without a proper trial or representation. They no longer have any legislative ability over a PRIVATE citizen. Go ahead and run their kangaroo court and the public will see what the democrats have become, the new communist party!

The Dems should prohibit Trump’s lawyers from ranting about how the impeachment is “unconstitutional.” Trump’s lackeys in the Senate put that to a vote and they lost. Defendants on trial don’t get to argue that their trial is “unconstitutional.” They should either address the evidence of inciting the insurrection or be told to keep their yaps shut.
