Senator Lindsey Graham said that Democrats are 'on a crusade to destroy this man and they don't care what they destroy in the process of trying to destroy Donald Trump'
WASHINGTON - The lead Democratic prosecutor accused President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday of setting up a corrupt scheme to pressure Ukraine to help him win re-election this coming November.
“To implement this corrupt scheme President Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into two discredited allegations that would benefit President Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign,” Schiff said. The case against him is focused on a July 25 telephone call in which he asked Zelenskiy to open a corruption investigation into the Bidens as well as a discredited theory that Ukraine, not Russia, meddled in the 2016 U.S. election.
In Davos, Switzerland, Trump told reporters at the World Economic Forum that he was happy with the way the trial was going.
