Giuliani says he's working on Trump's impeachment defense, would argue voter fraud claims
Source: ABC News
"I'm involved right now that's what I'm working on," Giuliani told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl.
A few hours later, Giuliani -- who led the president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results -- was spotted at the White House.
Giuliani's involvement in Trump's impeachment defense comes as many of the lawyers involved in the president's first impeachment, including White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputies and outside lawyers Jay Sekulow and Jane and Marty Raskin, do not plan to return for the second trial.

(18,665 posts)If what Trump says about fraud is true, it's ok to get people to storm the Capital and kill people?
No one thinks it's ok, but what if Rudy can't prove it's true?

(7,403 posts)I'm sure he will bring up all of the debunked claims that have been rejected every time they were brought up in Court because they provided no supporting evidence. But even if the debunked claims had merit it would not be a defense for the riot that left 6 people dead. All of the criminal charges would be unchanged. And it hardly addresses that impeachment charge of inciting insurrection - which is second only to treason in seriousness. Indeed, I would hope that the Chief Justice would step in and challenge the relevance of the defense. Where do they go then? There is no exculpatory evidence to clear Trump. If it wasn't Trump that incited the riot, who was it? Duh!

(1,789 posts)The vote to convict won't be nearly that much, but this defense will associate a vote to acquit with belief in the lie. So far there is no Congressional penalty for furthering the stolen election narrative, but there is one from corporate donors already in place.
