Donald Trump’s lawyer, Bruce Castor, who is going to lead his defense during the impeachment trial on Monday, has said that he is planning to show videos of Democrats allegedly cheering on protestors during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) rallies in 2020, to bolster his defence.
Mr. Castor, who is the former acting attorney general of Pennsylvania, said: “there’s a lot of tape of cities burning and courthouses being attacked and federal agents being assaulted by rioters in the streets, cheered on by Democrats throughout the country.”
He emphasized that many of these (videos) shot in Washington are using really the most inflammatory rhetoric possible to use but there would be no suggestion that they did “anything to incite any of the actions,” reported Fox News.
“But here, when you have the president of the United States give a speech and says that you should peacefully make your thinking known to the people in Congress, he's all of a sudden a villain,” said Mr Castor while acknowledging that he may use such videos.
