Trump ‘borderline screaming’ at screen over lawyer’s performance
Donald Trump was reportedly “borderline screaming” at his TV screen in his luxury Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as he watched his lawyer Bruce Castor’s opening argument in the Senate today.
Sources close to the former president – who is watching the proceedings from afar – told CNN he was very unhappy with the performance.
They said he was frustrated by Mr Castor’s “meandering arguments that struggled to get at the heart of his defence team’s argument” which is supposed to concentrate on whether it is constitutionally allowable to hold a trial for a president who is no longer in office
The legal team of Mr Castor and David Schoen was assembled a little over a week ago, meaning they had just a few days to prepare their defence for the former president.
However, the opening remarks from Mr Castor have been slammed by all sides of the political spectrum.
