У четвер в Сенаті США, – де проходить процес імпічменту Дональда Трампа, – сторона обвинувачення закінчила представляти свої аргументи, вимагаючи засудити колишнього президента.
“Ми покірно просимо вас засудити президента Трампа за злочин, за який переважну більшість відповідальності несе саме він!” – заявив один із депутатів-демократів Колорадо у своїй промові.
“Якщо ми зробимо вигляд, що цього не сталося, чи, ще гірше, якщо залишимо це без відповіді, хто знає, чи подібне не повториться у майбутньому?” – наголосив Джо Негуз.
Палата представників оголосила Трампу імпічмент у січні, за тиждень до закінчення терміну його повноважень. Його звинуватили в «підбурюванні до заколоту» в зв’язку з нападом його прихильників на Капітолій 6 січня. Внаслідок інциденту загинуло п’ятеро людей, у тому числі поліцейський.
Джеймі Б. Раскін, – який є керівником так званих менеджерів із питань імпічменту, – завершив свою промову переліком питань, які він би задав Дональду Трампу, якби колишній президент погодився давати свідчення перед Сенатом.
“Чому президент Трамп не сказав своїм послідовникам припинити напад на Капітолій, як тільки йому стало відомо про нього? Чому президент Трамп нічого не зробив – принаймні протягом двох годин після початку облоги – щоб зупинити напад? Чому президент Трамп того дня не засудив насильницьке повстання та повстанців?”– наголосив політик-демократ.
Більшість республіканців досі не згодна з процесом обвинувачення. Сенатори Джоні Ернст, Марко Рубіо та Майк Раундс також заявили, що процес імпічменту не може проводитися проти президента, який більше не перебуває на посаді.
“Існують інші засоби юриспруденції, замість того, щоб витрачати наш час у Сенаті”, – заявив Ернст.
Раніше керівники Сенату домовились, що під час розгляду справи, як обвинуваченню, так і захисту буде надано 16 годин для викладу своїх аргументів, максимум 8 годин на день. Тобто демократів слухали у середу та четвер, а адвокатів Трампа – у п’ятницю та суботу. Пізніше сенатори також матимуть можливість задавати питання та голосувати під час розгляду справи.
Один із адвокатів Дональда Трампа Девід Шон перед судом у четвер сказав наступне: навряд чи юридична група колишнього президента використовуватиме повний час, відведений їй в процесі. Прессекретар Трампа Джейсон Міллер заявив у Twitter, що, як очікується, їхні юристи закінчать свою захисну промову вже в п’ятницю.
Дональд Трамп – перший президент США, проти якого Палата представників двічі проголосувала за порушення справи; у 2019 році його притягнули до відповідальності за зловживання службовим становищем та перешкоджання роботі Конгресу, але тоді Сенат виправдав його.
Швидше за все, розгляд справи закінчиться аналогічно, оскільки для засудження потрібна більшість у дві третини в Сенаті, але співвідношення республіканців до демократів становить 50:50. Таким чином, принаймні 17 республіканців повинні підтримати засудження президента, а під час голосування у вівторок лише шість із них проголосували за конституційність імпічменту проти Трампа.
Якщо Дональда Трампа остаточно засудять, він може втратити свої переваги, а Сенат може провести подальше голосування, щоб він більше ніколи не міг взяти участь у президентських виборах. Для цього не потрібна більшість у дві третини, а лише проста більшість голосів.
