As Democrats continue their impeachment inquiry, the president and his allies keep presenting certain misleading defenses.
As soon as Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Sept. 24 that House Democrats would begin an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, the president and his supporters have put forth a slew of questionable arguments against it.
“In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch and all future occupants of the Office of the presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances,” Cipollone wrote.
3. The whistleblower complaint is disputed by the contents of Trump’s callThe president has often repeated his claim that whistleblower complaint bore no relation to the actual contents of his call with Zelensky. 4. Trump was only joking when he asked China to investigate BidenPerhaps one of the strangest defenses of Trump’s call on foreign leaders to investigate Biden has come from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. After Trump told White House reporters on Oct. 3 that “China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine,” Rubio suggested that his words weren’t meant seriously.
5. ‘Nothing wrong’ with seeking foreign investigation of BidenDespite having retweeted Rubio’s claim that Trump was simply joking about China investigating the Bidens, Trump has continually stated that, even if he wasn’t kidding, seeking such help wouldn’t, in and of itself, be improper.
