WASHINGTON – U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04), a member of President Trump’s defense team, took questions from the media at the U.S. Capitol following the first day of defense arguments in the Senate impeachment trial:
“Before I got to Congress, I litigated high-profile constitutional law cases in federal courts around the country for almost twenty years. In all that time, I have never seen a plaintiff's or a prosecution's case so completely destroyed by a defense opening argument as we saw today.
“
"…A lot of questions were answered today but there is much more to come from our defense team in the next two days, and we're looking forward to that.
