In a 46-page memorandum and a 60-page event minutes, House investigators confirmed that starting last spring, President Trump launched an illegal campaign to entice a government. abroad helped him win the 2020 election. According to Democrats, Trump did this by forcing Ukraine to publish investigations of his political rivals on the condition that the exchange was an aid package. military assistance and a White House meeting between the President of Ukraine and the President of the United States.

Trump then sought to conceal these actions with Congress, "seriously jeopardizing constitutional checks and balances" by ordering government officials not to testify or hand over evidence required by the investigative review investigation in the House of Representatives.

In a six-page document responding to allegations from the House of Representatives, Trump's lawyers said the lawsuit against the US president was not legally or legally binding.

"The terms of dismissal review submitted by the Democrats in the House of Representatives are a dangerous attack on American people's right to choose the president," the legal team stressed. "This is a brazen and illegal attempt to reverse the 2016 election results and intervene in the 2020 election."

The team of lawyers does not deny the core facts in the Democratic Party allegations, acknowledging the evidence and testimony provided by the House of Representatives that Trump has kept 391 million USD in aid for Ukraine and made sued the President of Ukraine by a meeting with President Trump at the White House, and asked Ukraine to investigate former US Vice President Joe Biden with his son Hunter.

But the lawyers said Trump did not violate any laws, he acted perfectly consistent and within the power. "President Trump explicitly and firmly denies all allegations in both terms of dismissal review," Pat A. Cipollone, White House adviser, and Jay Sekulow, Trump's personal lawyer, wrote in his statement. the response.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives opened an investigation to consider dismissing Trump in September after receiving a charge from an anonymous person. Democrats accuse Trump of jeopardizing the U.S. Constitution, national security and undermining the fairness of the 2020 election when pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to force the country to investigate Biden's father and son.

Trump will only be deposed if two-thirds of the senators vote against him. However, observers believe that the possibility of Trump's deposition is very low because the Senate is currently controlled by the Republican party. 53 of the 100 senators were Republicans and no one expressed the desire to depose him.
