Republicans say there’s ‘no evidence, no facts’ in Trump impeachment
WASHINGTON — Republican Attorneys General stood outside the Capitol, calling on the Senate to reject the Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump.South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says he delivered the letter to Senator Lindsay Graham this morning.“In that letter, we are outlining the problems, both factual and legal with the Articles of Impeachment that were passed last month by the United States House of Representatives,” said Wilson.The group accuses the House of Representatives of impeaching President Trump as a politically motivated response to the 2016 Presidential Election.Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge says the Articles of Impeachment would not hold up in a court of law.“As a prosecutor, I would have been ashamed to bring such a case with no evidence, no facts before a jury,” said Rutledge.Despite their request, House managers are expected to make their case before the Senate Thursday and Friday.

US, France reach tax deal averting broader trade war
DAVOS, Switzerland — France will delay its tax on the digital business of big tech firms like Google and Facebook in exchange for the United States' promise to hold off retaliatory sanctions - a deal that could avert a broader trade dispute.Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said Wednesday he had agreed on the truce with U.S. Treasury chief Steven Mnuchin, at a meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Le Maire said France would delay collection of the digital tax until December - through the next U.S. election cycle, potentially easing pressure for President Donald Trump as he seeks reelection.But the French minister said his country would never scrap it entirely until an international accord can be reached.“Digital companies will pay their fair tax in 2020,” Le Maire told reporters in Davos.The U.S., in turn, will hold off imposing retaliatory tariffs that it had threatened to slap tariffs on French wine, cheese and other products.The move appears to dial down the risk of a wider trade war between the United States and the European Union, of which France is part.

President Trump impeachment trial to begin with rules fight, long days
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial is set to unfold at the Capitol, a contentious proceeding to render judgment on his Ukraine actions as Americans form their own verdict at the start of an election year.As the Senate reconvenes with Chief Justice John Roberts presiding over the rare impeachment court, senators sworn to “impartial justice,” the legacy of President Trump's presidency and the system of checks and balances are at stake before a politically divided nation.A first test will come midday Tuesday when the session gavels open to vote on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's proposed rules for debate.On the eve of the trial, the Republican leader offered a compressed calendar for opening statements, just two days for each side, as President Trump's lawyers argued for swift rejection of the “flimsy” charges against the president and acquittal.“All of this is a dangerous perversion of the Constitution that the Senate should swiftly and roundly condemn," the president's lawyers wrote in their first full filing Monday. “The articles should be rejected and the president should immediately be acquitted.”Democrats — as the House prosecutors practiced opening arguments well into the night on the Senate floor — vowed to object to a speedy trial as they pressed for fresh witnesses and documents.Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer warned of a “cover-up” with McConnell's plan that could lead to back-to-back 12-hour days.“It’s clear Sen.

As trial nears, President Trump's lawyers call impeachment case 'flimsy'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's legal team asserted Monday that he did “absolutely nothing wrong," calling the impeachment case against him “flimsy" and a “dangerous perversion of the Constitution." The lawyers decried the impeachment process as rigged and insisted that abuse of power was not a crime.The brief from President Trump's lawyers, filed before arguments expected this week in the Senate impeachment trial, offered the most detailed glimpse of the lines of defense they intend to use against Democratic efforts to convict the president and oust him from office over his dealings with Ukraine.It is meant as a counter to a filing two days ago from House Democrats that summarized weeks of testimony from more than a dozen witnesses in laying out the impeachment case.The 110-page filing from the White House shifted the tone toward a more legal response.
