US President Donald Trump’s legal team said on Saturday that the impeachment articles approved by the House of Representatives “constitutionally invalid”, accusing House Democrats of a “brazen and unlawful attempt” to overturn the results of the 2016 presidential election.
The president’s team of lawyers — led by White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump personal attorney Jay Sekulow — submitted a six-page answer to the summons notifying the president of the impeachment trial.
