Despite Trump’s lawyer disputing Sen Tuberville's statement that he told Trump that VP Pence was being evacuated, Tuberville says tonight he stands by his story. He recounted it again in detail to a few of us reporters up here saying he told Trump that Pence was being evacuated. — PolitiTweet.org

Caught up w/ Sen @BernieSanders & asked him what he thought of Trump’s lawyers’ answer to his Q about Trump losing the 2020 election. Sanders told me: “That his attorneys could not simply say well you know Biden won the election, that's a sad day. That perpetuates the big lie.” — PolitiTweet.org

A moment worth re-watching. Trump lawyer, Michael van der Veen, refuses to say that former President Trump lost the election. (Though Bruce Castor, another Trump lawyer, said days ago in the Senate that Americans had spoken and that Trump had in fact lost to President Biden.) — PolitiTweet.org

Van der Veen didn't come close to answering Sen Bernie Sanders' question about whether former Pres Trump's legal team believes Trump actually won the 2020 election. But Trump lawyer Bruce Castor, in his initial confusing speech days ago, conceded that Trump lost to Pres Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Heated moment Bernie Sanders: Are the prosecutors right when they claim the Pres Trump was telling a "big lie" or in your view did Trump actually win the election? Van der Veen: Who asked that question? Sanders, sounding super annoyed: I did Van der Veen: That is irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Cramer: Given the allegations that Trump has tolerated anti semitic rhetoric, has there been a more pro-Israel president than Pres Trump? Van der Veen: No, but it's apparent that nobody listened to what I said earlier. This is about the most miserable D.C. experience I've had. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Q: If Senate's power to disqualify is not derivative of the power to remove a president, could Senate disqualify a sitting president but not remove him or her? Van der Veen didn't answer & instead attacked Rep. Castro. Raskin: That was profoundly inaccurate and irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael van der Veen is again claiming that the first time Trump's lawyers saw the evidence used by House Dems was when it was shown at trial. A senior Dem aide said this is not true. That person said per trial rules the Trump defense was sent all evidence before they started. — PolitiTweet.org

This is also astonishing because this all happened on live television and we know President Trump watched all this play out on TV. Everyone watching TV that day saw VP Pence abruptly disappear and the proceedings stop suddenly as the mob broke in. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Trump's team just said he was not aware that VP Pence was in danger and had been evacuated from the Senate chamber when he tweeted at 2:24 p.m. on Jan. 6 attacking Pence. But, Sen Tuberville has said on the record that he told Trump on the phone that Pence was being evacuated. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Sens Hagerty & Scott: Isn't this simply a political show trial? Castor: That is precisely what the 45th president believes this trial is about. It is to "embarrass" Trump, "damage" his ability to run for office, bar him from holding office & convince supporters not to back him. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Sen Rosen: Is there evidence that Trump knew or should have know that his tolerance of anti-semitic rhetoric could have incited the violence seen on Jan. 6? Rep Plaskett: Trump tolerated & encouraged hate speech. He encouraged actual violence. He didn't just use word "fight." — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Collins& Murkowski: Exactly when did President Trump learn of the breach of the Capitol? What specific actions did he take to bring it to end & when did he take them? Castor: There's been no investigation into that & that is the problem with this trial. Due process was denied. — PolitiTweet.org

A moment to behold. Senators Graham, Cruz, Marshall, Cramer: Does a politician raising bail for rioters encourage more rioting? President Trump's defense team: "Yes." — PolitiTweet.org
