Here’s Why Rudy Giuliani Says He Would Testify in Trump’s Impeachment Trial

By Townhall. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told reporters on Tuesday night he would be more than willing to testify in the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump.

“I would testify. I would do demonstrations, give lectures. I’d give summations,” Giuliani told a group of reporters covering Trump’s New Year’s Eve party at Mar-A-Lago. “Or, I do what I do best, I try the case. I’d love to try the case.”

A few of the reporters instantly assumed Giuliani meant he sided with Democrats who believe President Trump committed quid pro quo – also known as bribery – when he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, for corruption. While the veep was handling international relations with Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration, Hunter was being paid anywhere between $50,000 and $83,000 a month to sit on the board of Burisma, a corrupt oil company, despite having no natural energy experience.

Democrats have said Trump threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless the investigation into Biden – the so-called Democratic frontrunner – took place. . .

“I don’t know if anyone would have the courage to give me the case. If you give me the case I will prosecute it as a racketeering case, which I kind of invented anyways,” Giuliani said, referencing his use of racketeering laws to take down mobsters in the 1980s. “So, it’s been 30 years ago, but let’s see if I can still do it.” (Read more from “Here’s Why Rudy Giuliani Says He Would Testify in Trump’s Impeachment Trial” HERE)

Republican Senator: No Rules, Many Options for Trump Impeachment Trial

By Reuters. Republican Senator John Kennedy, a frequent defender of President Donald Trump, said on Sunday there were no real rules for how the U.S. Senate should run its impeachment trial and that the chamber could choose to hear witnesses and evidence.

“When it comes to impeachment, the rule is that there are virtually no substantive rules,” Kennedy told CNN’s “State of the Union.” As a result, he said, there were plenty of steps the Senate could take, including forming a committee to hear evidence in the case.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives impeached Republican Trump this month for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges stemming from his effort to get Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden, a leading contender in the 2020 Democratic presidential race.

The majority-Republican Senate is expected to hold its impeachment trial early next year, once House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivers the articles of impeachment to the chamber. (Read more from “Republican Senator: No Rules, Many Options for Trump Impeachment Trial” HERE)
