Trial Memorandum Of President Donald J. Trump: In Proceedings Before The United States Senate

This is a printed copy of the “Trial Memorandum Of President Donald J. Trump In Proceedings Before The United States Senate” as produced by the Office of White House Counsel in the Impeachment proceedings before the United States Senate.

The Articles of Impeachment now before the Senate are an affront to the Constitution and to our democratic institutions. The Articles themselves–and the rigged process that brought them here–are a brazenly political act by House Democrats that must be rejected. They debase the grave power of impeachment and disdain the solemn responsibility that power entails. Anyone having the most basic respect for the sovereign will of the American people would shudder at the enormity of casting a vote to impeach a duly elected President. By contrast, upon tallying their votes, House Democrats jeered until they were scolded into silence by the Speaker. The process that brought the articles here violated every precedent and every principle of fairness followed in impeachment inquiries for more than 150 years. Even so, all that House Democrats have succeeded in proving is that the President did absolutely nothing wrong.
