Democratic lawmakers leading the impeachment case against Donald Trump on Thursday requested the former president to testify in his trial for allegedly inciting insurrection in the attack on the US Capitol last month.
Chief impeachment manager Jamie Raskin wrote a letter to Trump, ahead of the February 9 opening of the trial.
Raskin made the request after Trump’s lawyers filed a pre-trial brief denying the allegations that he encouraged the violent assault by his supporters on the US Congress, which left five people dead.
He said trump had attempted to put critical facts at issue, notwithstanding the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense.
