Iran Press/America: House Judiciary Committee Chairman called Trump's actions with Ukraine a 'grave abuse of power.'
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler argued that a crime is not necessary to impeach a president, citing statements by Attorney General Bill Barr and member of Trump's defense team, Alan Dershowitz.
In six days of presentations, the president's defense team and Democratic legislators from the House of Representatives will attempt to convince senators to join their side to either acquit or convict Trump.
Democratic House managers on Wednesday began arguing their case first, detailing in eight hours of proceedings the timeline of Trump's politically motivated pressure campaign on Ukraine. The managers have a total of 24 hours over three days to make their arguments, before Trump's defense team will be given the same amount of time to make their case.
Meanwhile, legal experts said that a claim of executive privilege from President Donald Trump to block former National Security Advisor John Bolton's testimony would be weak.
