White House claim: Presidents frequently withhold aid.
Reality: There are legitimate ways to advance American interests with foreign aid.
Trump, however, used his irregular Ukraine back channel for his personal political interest, not America’s interest. #TruthMatters twitter.com/HouseIntel/sta…

White House claim: There is no evidence of Trump's corrupt intent.
Reality: President Trump directed this scheme with corrupt intent, with one corrupt objective: to use foreign assistance to cheat in his 2020 reelection bid. Here are 10 reasons we know: #TruthMatters

White House claim: VP Biden acted inappropriately.
Reality: There is zero evidence to support this claim. Shokin was widely recognized by our allies to be a corrupt prosecutor, and removing him was in line with official U.S. policy to combat corruption in Ukraine. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/0rpcAg655g

White House claim: Reporting on John Bolton's book is an "unsourced allegation."
Reality: Senators have the ability to hear directly from the source. Calling Bolton as a witness would allow the American people to hear all the facts — in other words, a fair trial. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/eTdX52ZCXY

White House claim: It is inappropriate to impeach a president in an election year.
Reality: Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2016 election, admitted he would do it again in 2020, and continues to direct a scheme to do so. Impeachment is the only remedy. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/ReHbembaTh

For almost 2 weeks, Trump's defense team has peddled lies and conspiracy theories on the Senate floor. It's disgraceful.

6⃣ Multiple career public servants repeatedly reported their concerns in real time to their supervisors & the National Security Council legal advisors.
Lt. Col. Vindman, Dr. Hill, Mr. Morrison, and Amb. Taylor are non-partisan civil servants who put duty first. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/qnVm0NmaWL

And Republican Senator Lindsey Graham himself felt the same way, in 1999:
"Doesn't have to be a crime... When you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you'll have committed a high crime." #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/xepmjwlVuG

White House Claim: The President’s motives were mixed.
Reality: President Trump answered a direct question on what he wanted from Ukraine: “...if they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens. It's a very simple answer.” #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/pGQ6Dpbwbn

White House claim: Calling witnesses and getting documents will take too much time.
Reality: Witness depositions and document review can be done while the Senate continues normal business. A fair trial requires documents and witnesses. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/DDxHHsYIeZ

"Let me make this plain: The President is not the victim here." - @RepValDemings
The rights given to Trump are consistent with those granted to Nixon and Clinton.
The President was invited to participate in all Judiciary Committee hearings. He refused. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/H5bQvY04ZA

White House claim: Trump's lawyers told House committees they would participate in oversight.
Reality: They executed an unprecedented campaign of obstruction, blocking all witnesses and documents. Trump boasted about it, both before and after: #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/Rm2srhNw8b

White House claim: Withholding aid did not jeopardize Ukraine's security, because it was for future expenses.
Reality: Withholding the aid sent a signal to Russia that U.S. support for Ukraine was weakened. Ukraine is at war with Russia & U.S. support is critical. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/yKcdr9LjnJ

4⃣ There is no dispute that the two investigations sought by President Trump were not part of official U.S. foreign policy.
The President and his operatives worked outside the professional national security staff, as Dr. Hill testified. #TruthMatters

8⃣ The White House buried the call record. National Security Council lawyers "locked down" the July 25 call record by placing it in a highlight classified NSC system - a level of security that such a call would not typically require. #TruthMatters

White House claim: Trump has been impeached over a policy disagreement.
Reality: He created an irregular back channel for Ukraine policy through his personal political lawyer.
"There's a lot of talk about Biden's son" is not a policy. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/yy97cTEhPP

Alan Dershowitz has repeatedly cited an article by Prof Nikolas Bowie to justify his defense of Trump. Bowie provided a response: “If the President did what the House accuses him of doing, he can & should be punished.” #ImpeachmentTrial #TruthMatters nytimes.com/2020/01/27/opi…

7⃣ Ukrainian officials clearly understood that President Trump was asking them to investigate his political opponents in the U.S.
They did not want to get involved, and the resisted repeatedly. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/8anzYHwwkY

White House claim: Testimony from numerous witnesses who said Bolton referred to Trump's Ukraine scheme as a "drug deal" is hearsay.
Reality: Calling Bolton and seeing his notes would allow Senators and the American public to verify what he meant by that comment. #TruthMatters twitter.com/HouseIntel/sta…

White House claim: Trump was concerned about burden sharing.
Reality: This is an after-the-fact justification. Although E.U. Ambassador Sondland was in regular communication with the President, Trump never raised Europe's aid contributions with him. #TruthMatters pic.twitter.com/7Rlr5367Lj
