His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Those are expected to slightly favor Democrats. Then come results from in-person polling places on Election Day, which is when higher percentages of Republicans typically vote. Finally, late-arriving mail ballots are counted and reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ballots will be counted up to seven days after the election as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local elections officials are seeing increased activity from a group of election observers aligned with Republicans, said Donna Johnston, Sutter County registrar of voters and president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said election officials welcome observers and the chance to explain procedures that ensure election security and integrity. The increase in distrust, though, is “heartbreaking to us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Election officials take it personally when somebody is just making unfounded accusations about what we do,” Johnston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press’s Adam Beam, Christina A.

Last year, for instance, a county commission race was decided by just three votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both candidates running accepted the results after a hand recount, but Shew said he worries next time they might not be so lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even in [2016 and 2018], candidates were going to ‘there was fraud’ rather than it was a bad campaign,” Shew said. But “2020 took it to a whole new level. And I don’t think that’s going to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Republicans are embracing the claims. John Cox, a business executive running to replace Newsom, said voter fraud concerns are “another distraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frankly, all this talk about the election not being valid is a cul de sac because it’s going to result in some people deciding not to vote,” Cox said as he campaigned Monday outside the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Secretary of State Shirley Weber — the state’s chief elections official — said concerns about election security are “inaccurate.” California, she said, has “the strictest voting system testing, procedures for use and security requirements in the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All votes, whether in person, by mail or drop box, will be cast on paper ballots that can be hand-counted afterward if there are questions about the tally in any county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the challenge for election officials is the vote counting and vote reporting process, which can lead to changes in results that appear to swing back and forth before final tallies are released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, where election officials can begin processing mailed ballots ahead of Election Day, the first batch of results often is from mail-in ballots. Those are expected to slightly favor Democrats. Then come results from in-person polling places on Election Day, which is when higher percentages of Republicans typically vote. Finally, late-arriving mail ballots are counted and reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ballots will be counted up to seven days after the election as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local elections officials are seeing increased activity from a group of election observers aligned with Republicans, said Donna Johnston, Sutter County registrar of voters and president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said election officials welcome observers and the chance to explain procedures that ensure election security and integrity. The increase in distrust, though, is “heartbreaking to us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Election officials take it personally when somebody is just making unfounded accusations about what we do,” Johnston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press’s Adam Beam, Christina A. Cassidy, Michael R. Blood and Nicholas Riccardi contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2021 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy came out Tuesday against \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/14/996822835/house-lawmakers-reach-bipartisan-deal-on-panel-to-investigate-jan-6-attack\">a bipartisan proposal\u003c/a> to establish a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The announcement comes a day before the House of Representatives is slated to vote on the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy tasked the top-ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. John Katko of New York, to broker a deal on the commission, and the GOP leader's opposition undercuts his own member's agreement with Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, and gives cover to other House Republicans to vote against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To explain his opposition, the California Republican pointed to other bipartisan efforts in the Senate to probe the riots, a security review underway by a top House official, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories\">the Justice Department's arrests of hundreds\u003c/a> who breached the Capitol that day. He said the fact that the commission also isn't designed to study other instances of political violence was a problem for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the political misdirections that have marred this process, given the now duplicative and potentially counterproductive nature of this effort, and given the Speaker's shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America, I cannot support this legislation,\" McCarthy said in a written statement Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bipartisan proposal calls for a 10-member panel, evenly split between the two parties: Five of them, including the chair, would be appointed by the House speaker and the Senate majority leader; the other five, including the vice chair, would be appointed by the minority leaders of the House and Senate. The commission is tasked with studying the \"facts and circumstances of the January 6\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission would also have the power to issue subpoenas to carry out its investigation, but these would require \"agreement between the Chair and the Vice Chair or a vote by a majority of Commission members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel is directed to produce a final report and recommendations by Dec. 31. That timeline is much more expedited than the 9/11 commission, which took more than a year for Congress to create and which issued a report almost three years after the terror attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four-month effort to get agreement on the structure of a commission was stalled as GOP lawmakers pushed back on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's initial plan that included more Democrats than Republicans. They also wanted a broader focus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Liz Cheney, R- Wyoming, who was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/12/995072539/gop-poised-to-oust-cheney-from-leadership-over-her-criticism-of-trump\">ousted \u003c/a>last week from her No. 3 House GOP leadership post for her criticism of former President Donald Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/liz-cheney-regrets-voting-trump-2020/story?id=77695446\">told ABC News\u003c/a> she wouldn't be surprised if McCarthy were subpoenaed by a commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy spoke with Trump on Jan. 6 and has talked publicly about his appeals to the president that day to address those rioting at the Capitol and urge them to leave. During the second impeachment trial of Trump, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Washington, revealed that McCarthy told her the president's response to him was, \" 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would hope he doesn't require a subpoena, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were subpoenaed,\" Cheney said about McCarthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='The Capitol Insurrection' tag='capitol-insurrection']In recent weeks some Republican lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/12/996162812/at-rancorous-hearing-on-jan-6-insurrection-partisan-divide-takes-center-stage\">have downplayed the threat \u003c/a>to the Capitol on Jan. 6 despite the fact that many of them were in the building when hundreds of violent protesters clashed with police. And while many on the right have tried to emphasize the threat of antifa, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/02/972539274/fbi-director-wray-testifies-before-congress-for-1st-time-since-capitol-attack\">the nation's top law enforcement officials\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/02/972564176/antifa-didnt-storm-the-capitol-just-ask-the-rioters\">the rioters themselves\u003c/a> confirm that right-wing extremists hold responsibility for the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy, who days after the attack said Trump deserved blame for the riots, has softened his stance. Last week after he met with President Biden, he maintained that no one is disputing the 2020 election results — hours after backing an effort to remove Cheney for calling out fellow Republicans who continue to raise questions about the certification in some states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, asked about McCarthy's opposition, told reporters on Capitol Hill, \"I'm very pleased that we have a bipartisan bill to come to the floor and it's disappointing, but not surprising, that the cowardice on the part of some on the Republican side not to want to find the truth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has not weighed in on the proposal yet. The House is expected to approve the measure, but it would need 10 GOP senators to back it to get through the upper chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional reporter Claudia Grisales contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

The announcement comes a day before the House of Representatives is slated to vote on the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy tasked the top-ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. John Katko of New York, to broker a deal on the commission, and the GOP leader's opposition undercuts his own member's agreement with Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, and gives cover to other House Republicans to vote against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To explain his opposition, the California Republican pointed to other bipartisan efforts in the Senate to probe the riots, a security review underway by a top House official, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-stories\">the Justice Department's arrests of hundreds\u003c/a> who breached the Capitol that day. He said the fact that the commission also isn't designed to study other instances of political violence was a problem for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the political misdirections that have marred this process, given the now duplicative and potentially counterproductive nature of this effort, and given the Speaker's shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America, I cannot support this legislation,\" McCarthy said in a written statement Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bipartisan proposal calls for a 10-member panel, evenly split between the two parties: Five of them, including the chair, would be appointed by the House speaker and the Senate majority leader; the other five, including the vice chair, would be appointed by the minority leaders of the House and Senate. The commission is tasked with studying the \"facts and circumstances of the January 6\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That timeline is much more expedited than the 9/11 commission, which took more than a year for Congress to create and which issued a report almost three years after the terror attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four-month effort to get agreement on the structure of a commission was stalled as GOP lawmakers pushed back on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's initial plan that included more Democrats than Republicans. They also wanted a broader focus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

During the second impeachment trial of Trump, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Washington, revealed that McCarthy told her the president's response to him was, \" 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would hope he doesn't require a subpoena, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were subpoenaed,\" Cheney said about McCarthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last week after he met with President Biden, he maintained that no one is disputing the 2020 election results — hours after backing an effort to remove Cheney for calling out fellow Republicans who continue to raise questions about the certification in some states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, asked about McCarthy's opposition, told reporters on Capitol Hill, \"I'm very pleased that we have a bipartisan bill to come to the floor and it's disappointing, but not surprising, that the cowardice on the part of some on the Republican side not to want to find the truth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has not weighed in on the proposal yet.

A DHS official acknowledged the task force has yet to reunite families but noted it remains committed to that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve begun a process for reviewing and cross-checking those files,” said the DHS official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity. “This is a manual process, manually going through each file, looking for clues. And it’s our hope and expectation that this process will review only a few additional families. But it’s important to look through them and make sure.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns that the Trump administration started separating families within the first months of taking office have grown since the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General found that children had been separated from their parents during a pilot program before the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which was first implemented in mid-2018. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, pointed to the OIG report and reports by lawyers that there may have been separations “in significant numbers” during the first few months of the Trump administration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the magnitude of the Trump administration’s family separation practice, I am not going to be shocked if there were dozens or possibly hundreds of separations in the first six months,” said Gelernt, who is the lead attorney in the ACLU lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='family-separation']The Trump administration separated as many as 5,500 children from their parents. More than 1,400 parents were ultimately without their children, according to immigrant advocates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total number that remain separated is unclear, but immigration advocates estimate at least 500 children still remain separated from their parents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the Biden administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11858316/biden-signs-immigration-executive-orders-establishes-task-force-to-reunite-separated-families\">formed a multi-agency task force\u003c/a> to help reunite parents and children who remain separated. The DHS official said the task force has yet to reunite any of those families but is committed to the goal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been working every day to address the tragedy that occurred when the previous administration intentionally separated families,” the official said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt said the slow start is concerning but noted there has been progress. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would hope that the task force would be up and running immediately and the families would have already been reunited,” he said. “But we are pleased that there has been progress in the past week.

A DHS official acknowledged the task force has yet to reunite families but noted it remains committed to that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve begun a process for reviewing and cross-checking those files,” said the DHS official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity. “This is a manual process, manually going through each file, looking for clues. And it’s our hope and expectation that this process will review only a few additional families. But it’s important to look through them and make sure.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns that the Trump administration started separating families within the first months of taking office have grown since the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General found that children had been separated from their parents during a pilot program before the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which was first implemented in mid-2018. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Eric Swalwell, who served as a House manager in Donald Trump’s last impeachment trial, filed a lawsuit Friday against the former president, his son, lawyer and a Republican congressman whose actions he charges led to January’s insurrection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Democrat’s suit, filed in federal court in Washington, alleges a conspiracy to violate civil rights, along with negligence, inciting a riot and inflicting emotional distress. It follows a similar suit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, last month in an attempt to hold the former president accountable in some way for his actions Jan. 6, following his Senate acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell charges that Trump, his son Donald Jr., along with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, had made “false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to the Defendant’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.” [aside tag=\"politics,capitol-insurrection\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit spells out in detail how the Trumps, Giuliani and Brooks spread baseless claims of election fraud, both before and after the 2020 presidential election was declared, and charges that they helped to spin up the thousands of rioters before they stormed the Capitol. Five people died as a result of the violence on Jan. 6, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller, called Swalwell a “low-life” with “no credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, after failing miserably with two impeachment hoaxes,” Swalwell is attacking “our greatest President with yet another witch hunt,” Miller said in a statement. “It’s a disgrace that a compromised Member of Congress like Swalwell still sits on the House Intelligence Committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said the lawsuit was frivolous and “a meritless ploy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I make no apologies whatsoever for fighting for accurate and honest elections,” he said, adding he wore the lawsuit “like a badge of courage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, through Trump’s own words, accuses the former president of inciting the riot, using much of the same playbook used by Swalwell and others during Trump’s impeachment trial — that his lies over the election results stirred supporters into the false belief the 2020 election had been stolen, that he egged the angry mob on through his rally speech and that he did nothing when faced with the images of throngs of his supporters smashing windows at the U.S. Capitol and sending lawmakers fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those with knowledge claimed that during this moment of national horror, Trump was ‘delighted’ and was ‘confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was.’ Others described Trump as ‘borderline enthusiastic’ about the unfolding violence,” according to the suit. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Thompson’s lawsuit — filed against Trump, Giuliani and some far-right extremist groups whose members are alleged to have participated in the insurrection — Swalwell’s did not specify whether he was filing in his personal or official capacity, which would require additional approvals from the House and involve House attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both lawsuits cite a federal civil rights law that was enacted to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of officials. Swalwell’s attorney, Philip Andonian, praised Thompson’s lawsuit, filed under a Reconstruction-era law called the Ku Klux Klan Act, and said they were behind it 100%, but saw the need for this one, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see ourselves as having a different angle to this, holding Trump accountable for the incitement, the disinformation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presidents are historically afforded broad immunity from lawsuits for actions they take in their role as commander in chief. But the lawsuit, like the one by Thompson, was brought against Trump in his personal, not official, capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell also describes in detail being trapped in the House chamber with many other members of Congress as plainclothes Capitol Police officers barricaded the doors and tried to fend off the mob at gunpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Attorney Philip Andonian']‘We see ourselves as having a different angle to this, holding Trump accountable for the incitement, the disinformation,’[/pullquote]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fearing for their lives, the Plaintiff and others masked their identities as members of Congress, texted loved ones in case the worst happened, and took shelter throughout the Capitol complex,” the lawsuit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges that Brooks “conspired with the other Defendants to undermine the election results by alleging, without evidence, that the election had been rigged and by pressuring elected officials, courts, and ultimately Congress to reject the results.” It notes that he spoke at a rally supporting Trump at the Ellipse, near the White House, shortly before thousands of pro-Trump rioters made their way to the Capitol and overwhelmed police officers to shove their way inside the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit seeks unspecified damages, and Swalwell also wants a court to order all of the defendants to provide written notice to him a week before they plan to have a rally in Washington that would draw more than 50 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ericswalwell/status/1367866576641421314?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unable to accept defeat, Donald Trump waged an all out war on a peaceful transition of power,” Swalwell said in a statement. “He lied to his followers again and again claiming the election was stolen from them, filed a mountain of frivolous lawsuits — nearly all of which failed, tried to intimidate election officials, and finally called upon his supporters to descend on Washington D.C. to ‘stop the steal.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Lisa Mascaro contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It follows a similar suit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, last month in an attempt to hold the former president accountable in some way for his actions Jan. 6, following his Senate acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell charges that Trump, his son Donald Jr., along with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, had made “false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to the Defendant’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Five people died as a result of the violence on Jan. 6, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller, called Swalwell a “low-life” with “no credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, after failing miserably with two impeachment hoaxes,” Swalwell is attacking “our greatest President with yet another witch hunt,” Miller said in a statement. “It’s a disgrace that a compromised Member of Congress like Swalwell still sits on the House Intelligence Committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said the lawsuit was frivolous and “a meritless ploy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I make no apologies whatsoever for fighting for accurate and honest elections,” he said, adding he wore the lawsuit “like a badge of courage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, through Trump’s own words, accuses the former president of inciting the riot, using much of the same playbook used by Swalwell and others during Trump’s impeachment trial — that his lies over the election results stirred supporters into the false belief the 2020 election had been stolen, that he egged the angry mob on through his rally speech and that he did nothing when faced with the images of throngs of his supporters smashing windows at the U.S. Capitol and sending lawmakers fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those with knowledge claimed that during this moment of national horror, Trump was ‘delighted’ and was ‘confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was.’ Others described Trump as ‘borderline enthusiastic’ about the unfolding violence,” according to the suit. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, gives closing arguments on the fifth day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 13, 2021 in Washington, D.C. House impeachment managers had argued that Trump was “singularly responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol and he should be convicted and barred from ever holding public office again. \u003ccite>(congress.gov via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the defense rested Friday, Herrera Beutler issued a statement detailing — again — that Trump had gotten into a shouting match with Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy during the riot, telling him, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate then voted to allow witnesses, and Trump’s lawyers threatened to call dozens. Both sides eventually agreed to enter Herrera Beutler’s statement into the record and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of Trump’s legal team’s argument was supposed to be that the Senate did not have jurisdiction to take up the trial of a former federal official. That was certainly part of it and was a message that resonated with the overwhelming majority of GOP senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a vote on the first day of the trial, for example, 44 Republicans voted to say it was unconstitutional for the Senate to try a president after he left office. That’s despite a 145-year-old precedent in which the Senate voted that it was constitutional to try a former Cabinet official for impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality argument allowed many Republican senators to sidestep the merits of the case against Trump. That’s even though the lead impeachment manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, on Thursday closed his side’s arguments by imploring senators that the constitutionality of the trial had been resolved by the earlier vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers, however, did not stick to a narrow constitutional argument. Instead, they accused Democrats of using the impeachment process for partisan gain and of trying to disenfranchise the people who voted for Trump’s reelection. The defense declined to provide evidence of what the president knew about the violence, when he knew it and what he did about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic House impeachment managers argued that the former president, who addressed a rally outside the White House ahead of the insurrection, was “singularly responsible” for the violence on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They relied, in large measure, on video to prove their case, including never-before-seen Capitol security footage. The videos showed on the Senate floor during what was an — at times — emotional trial brought back the vivid images of the Capitol violence to the very place it happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1360703057768697858\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video demonstrated how close rioters came to then-Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress. And the impeachment managers argued that the video showed clearly that the mob of pro-Trump supporters was there for the president, and many believed they were there at the president’s behest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impeachment managers, however, made a broader case than Trump’s comments on Jan. 6. They argued that Trump laid the groundwork for false grievance on the part of his supporters with two months of baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost him the election and years, in fact, of tolerating, condoning and encouraging violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers largely sidestepped Trump’s false claims of election fraud. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, asked during the question-and-answer session: “Are the prosecutors right when they claim that Trump was telling a big lie, or in your judgment did Trump actually win the election?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump lawyer Michael van der Veen shot back, “My judgment? Who asked that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did,” Sanders replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My judgment is irrelevant,” van der Veen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You represent the president of the United States!” Sanders yelled back before Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, the presiding officer, gaveled the chamber back to order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s rhetoric about widespread fraud and a stolen election was false, dismissed by many courts stemming from dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign and allies across several key states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1360681411276111876\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s legal team also argued that his Jan. 6 rally speech was protected by the First Amendment, a contention that impeachment managers labeled ludicrous. This, after all, was an impeachment trial, not a criminal proceeding. An impeachment trial is a political process intended to judge whether an official was upholding their oath of office and a standard of conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his second acquittal, Trump now plots his next steps in political and public life. Yet he is also contending with potential legal trouble stemming from a New York grand jury investigation and a newly announced criminal probe in Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in addition to Trump’s mounting debt and devalued assets. The former president’s net worth also dropped $1 billion in early 2020, according to Forbes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has been able to spin difficulties in his business and personal life before, and the country waits to see if has a next, and perhaps final, act.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, gives closing arguments on the fifth day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 13, 2021 in Washington, D.C. House impeachment managers had argued that Trump was “singularly responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol and he should be convicted and barred from ever holding public office again. \u003ccite>(congress.gov via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the defense rested Friday, Herrera Beutler issued a statement detailing — again — that Trump had gotten into a shouting match with Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy during the riot, telling him, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate then voted to allow witnesses, and Trump’s lawyers threatened to call dozens. Both sides eventually agreed to enter Herrera Beutler’s statement into the record and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of Trump’s legal team’s argument was supposed to be that the Senate did not have jurisdiction to take up the trial of a former federal official. That was certainly part of it and was a message that resonated with the overwhelming majority of GOP senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a vote on the first day of the trial, for example, 44 Republicans voted to say it was unconstitutional for the Senate to try a president after he left office. That’s despite a 145-year-old precedent in which the Senate voted that it was constitutional to try a former Cabinet official for impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality argument allowed many Republican senators to sidestep the merits of the case against Trump. That’s even though the lead impeachment manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, on Thursday closed his side’s arguments by imploring senators that the constitutionality of the trial had been resolved by the earlier vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers, however, did not stick to a narrow constitutional argument. Instead, they accused Democrats of using the impeachment process for partisan gain and of trying to disenfranchise the people who voted for Trump’s reelection. The defense declined to provide evidence of what the president knew about the violence, when he knew it and what he did about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic House impeachment managers argued that the former president, who addressed a rally outside the White House ahead of the insurrection, was “singularly responsible” for the violence on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They relied, in large measure, on video to prove their case, including never-before-seen Capitol security footage. The videos showed on the Senate floor during what was an — at times — emotional trial brought back the vivid images of the Capitol violence to the very place it happened.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the impeachment managers argued that the video showed clearly that the mob of pro-Trump supporters was there for the president, and many believed they were there at the president’s behest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impeachment managers, however, made a broader case than Trump’s comments on Jan. 6. They argued that Trump laid the groundwork for false grievance on the part of his supporters with two months of baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost him the election and years, in fact, of tolerating, condoning and encouraging violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers largely sidestepped Trump’s false claims of election fraud. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, asked during the question-and-answer session: “Are the prosecutors right when they claim that Trump was telling a big lie, or in your judgment did Trump actually win the election?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump lawyer Michael van der Veen shot back, “My judgment? Who asked that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did,” Sanders replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My judgment is irrelevant,” van der Veen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You represent the president of the United States!” Sanders yelled back before Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, the presiding officer, gaveled the chamber back to order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s rhetoric about widespread fraud and a stolen election was false, dismissed by many courts stemming from dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign and allies across several key states.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This, after all, was an impeachment trial, not a criminal proceeding. An impeachment trial is a political process intended to judge whether an official was upholding their oath of office and a standard of conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his second acquittal, Trump now plots his next steps in political and public life. Yet he is also contending with potential legal trouble stemming from a New York grand jury investigation and a newly announced criminal probe in Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in addition to Trump’s mounting debt and devalued assets.
