President Donald Trump claimed Friday that the impeachment trial against him is an attempt to rig the upcoming 2020 election against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
The president highlighted the importance of the upcoming Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3, which is the first nominating contest in the Democratic presidential primaries, in a post on Twitter. During the impeachment trial, Sanders and three other senators who are seeking their party’s nomination will have to attend the trial in Washington for six days each week and won’t be able to use electronic devices.
