Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) stated. \u201cBut the responsibility falls squarely on those that invaded the Capitol, the ones that planned it ahead of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Trump is getting support from his former advisors, attorneys, lawmakers and Americans. Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro said the impeachment defense team should focus their arguments on election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Friday, Navarro claimed the impeachment is a \u201cpolitical trial\u201d and must be challenged on political grounds. He noted this can be done by presenting reports on election integrity before the Senate in order to prove foul play in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Navarro went on to say Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) should represent the former president. Gaetz volunteered to stand up in defense of President Trump, even if it meant giving up his seat in the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the president called me and wanted me to go defend him on the floor of the Senate, that would be the top priority in my life,\u201d Gaetz stated.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Castor, President Trump\u2019s defense attorney, said he\u2019ll showcase Democrats\u2019 rhetoric during the Antifa and BLM riots over the summer. Castor claimed Democrats cheered demonstrators on while they burned down buildings and assaulted federal agents.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dem leaders and their allies in the media cheered on the violent left every step of the way\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/goInUrw6P8\">pic.twitter.com\/goInUrw6P8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1300397571538640901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 31, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Castor and attorney David Schoen will drive home the unconstitutionality of trying a president after he left office.<\/p>\n<p>Senators are expected to begin impeachment trial proceedings on February 9.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/u-s-steps-up-vaccination-efforts-as-states-try-to-meet-demand\/\">U.S. Steps Up Vaccination Efforts As States Try To Meet Demand<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump boarded Air Force One before departing &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892822,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5681,4431,5678,3740,4000,3634],"class_list":["post-120179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-impending","tag-legal","tag-prepares","tag-senate","tag-team","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
