Trump has a 5 p.m. deadline to say whether he'll participate in House impeachment proceedings, but he's already planning with key Republicans a strategy for his Senate trial.
The White House is expected to say Friday whether President Trump will participate in House impeachment proceedings, but all signs suggest he already is focusing on winning acquittal — and political retribution — in the Republican-controlled Senate.
A Senate trial would only occur if the House votes, as expected, to make Trump only the third president in U.S. history to be impeached. Democrats hope to hold the vote before Christmas. Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, said Democrats have always wanted to impeach the president, “so they should just get on with it so we can have a fair trial in the Senate and expose the Swamp for what it is.”
Trump instead appears focused on pursuing exoneration in the Senate, where Republicans will call the shots.
