“Republican senators were more deeply involved in orchestrating President Donald Trump’s defense in his first impeachment trial than previously known,” according to excerpts from a forthcoming book, the HuffPost reports.
“Publicly, many GOP senators refrained from commenting on the substance of the proceedings, telling reporters doing so would be inappropriate because of their responsibility to remain neutral as jurors. But privately, the ineptitude of Trump’s legal team forced them to take matters into their own hands.”
