“Senate Republicans are beginning to strategize about how they might use an impeachment trial to reshape the narrative in the president’s favor,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“Trump’s strongest allies in the Senate are considering ideas such as calling witnesses that might prove embarrassing to Democrats or trying to time the proceeding to interfere with the campaigning of 2020 candidates, particularly in the run-up to the first presidential contest in Iowa.”
“If impeachment moves from the Democratic-controlled House to the GOP-controlled Senate, the president’s party will have more control over the process. Many see it as an opportunity to allow the president’s lawyers to make a high-profile case to the public.”
