TRUMP'S CASETrump's attorneys blasted the impeachment as a “complete charade” foisted on the country by an opposition party “obsessed with impeaching Mr. Trump from the very beginning of his term.”The closing argument, delivered by attorney Michael van der Veen, was peak Trump. He said Trump was a victim, not the instigator. It was rooted, he said, in Democrats' unwillingness to condemn violent riots last summer, which sometimes sprang out of racial justice protests. “As a nation, we must ask ourselves: How did we arrive at this place where rioting and pillaging would become common place?" said van der Veen.
