A potential swing-vote Democratic senator told reporters that he believes President Donald Trump’s legal team performed well on Saturday in presenting their arguments for why the president shouldn’t be impeached during the Senate trial.
“A good job. I thought they did a good job. They gave us a lot to think about, and I think it gives us more reasons why the one thing that stuck in my mind is they said that there wasn’t a witness that they’ve had so far that had direct contact with the president,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Saturday, reported the Washington Examiner. “So, I think that it reaffirms why I would love to hear from [Mick] Mulvaney and [John] Bolton.”
