Democrats on Thursday homed in on their charge that President Donald Trump abused his power, turning to past statements from some of the president’s top allies to help make their case on the third day of his Senate impeachment trial.
House prosecutors used old comments from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Attorney General William Barr and Trump impeachment defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz to bolster their argument that abuse of power is grounds to remove a president — and pointed to Trump’s own statements to illustrate his guilt.
