President Trump's lawyers blasted the impeachment charges against him, calling the allegations that he had abused his power and obstructed Congress an affront to the Constitution and that the charges must be rejected
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday rejected the Democratic-led House of Representatives’ impeachment charges and called for their immediate dismissal by the Republican-led Senate in a memo offering a legal and political case against his removal.
Democrats say Trump abused his power by withholding U.S. military assistance to Ukraine as part of a pressure campaign and obstructed Congress by refusing to hand over documents and barring administration officials from testifying, even when subpoenaed by House investigators. It also accused the House Democrats of conducting a rigged process, said they succeeded in proving only that Trump had done nothing wrong and argued, as the White House has repeatedly, that this was an effort to overturn Trump’s 2016 election victory and to prevent his re-election in November.See more stories

The Bidens deny any wrongdoing and Trump’s allegations have been widely debunked.
