Lawyer 2 Lawyer - Law News And Legal Topics

The impeachment trial of President Donald J. Trump is underway and, as expected, it has come with its share of controversy. On December 18, 2019, President Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. As of the date of this recording, which is January 29, 2020, the Republicans had uniformly resisted demands to call witnesses and subpoena new evidence not presented in the House investigation. On today’s Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Craig Williams is joined by Tom Jipping, the deputy director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies and a Senior Legal Fellow for the Heritage Foundation and attorney Alan Baron, a special counsel to government entities, as they discuss the impeachment trial, specifically the issues of witnesses, new evidence, its constitutionality, the House managers, the impact of the trial on the presidency, and, of course the potential outcome.
