On Fox News Monday, in discussion with right-wing host Sean Hannity, former President Donald Trump's new impeachment attorney David Schoen suggested that Democratic senators could be biased — because they were in the Capitol during the invasion Trump is accused of inciting.
"There are two points about this," said Schoen. "I would say you also should be able to call, then, many of the senators as witnesses, because of the awful bias and prejudgment they've shown. Can you imagine any American citizen considering to be in a trial where the judge and jury has already announced publicly that the defendant must be convicted in this case? And in fact, Senator Leahy called, demanded that Senator McConnell vote for conviction also! Both sides, it's clear to them that Donald Trump 'undercut democracy.'"
Schoen and Hannity do not address the fact that several Republican allies of Trump made clear how they would vote in the previous impeachment before doing so.
