Trump impeachment news - live: Staggering majority of millennials support removing president as his lawyers conclude 'nonsensical' defence
Donald Trump’s legal counsel continued to make the case for the defence at his Senate impeachment trial on Monday, working to discredit the Democratic-led investigation into the president’s conduct towards Ukraine and fixating on Hunter Biden, prompting senators speaking afterwards to characterise their arguments as “nonsensical”, “absurd” and “incredibly surreal”.
Mr Trump meanwhile took out his frustration on Twitter, calling CNN anchor Don Lemon “the dumbest man on television” for laughing at him on air, as further damaging revelations emerged from the leaked draft of ex-national security’s adviser John Bolton’s new memoir.
