With his impeachment now all-but-certain, President Trump and his allies are beginning to look past the House of Representatives, shifting their sights to the Republican-led Senate where the President will face trial.
Trump, who as recently as Wednesday lamented impeachment as a"dirty word," has struggled to accept the prospect of becoming the third President in history to be impeached. But the President and White House officials are now signaling they will mount a robust defense in the Senate and look to turn the tables on Democrats during the President's trial -- including by digging in on the President's unsubstantiated claims of corruption leveled at former Vice President Joe Biden.
"We will win!"Trump and his allies were also quick to signal that they view the trial in the Republican-controlled Senate as an opportunity to score political points and deflect from the central allegations Trump is facing. Just as Trump pointed to a wish-list of Democrats he would see questioned during a Senate trial, his campaign manager relished the prospect of a"fair trial in the Senate" and the opportunity to"expose the Swamp for what it is.
