President Trump is complaining that his impeachment defense begins on a Saturday:
“After having been treated unbelievably unfairly in the House, and then having to endure hour after hour of lies, fraud & deception by Shifty Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer & their crew, looks like my lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in T.V.”
Karoun Demirjian: “Saturday’s session, we keep being told, is expected to be short.”
