Trump lawyers argue Trump not responsible for storming of Capitol

Supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to prevent the certification of President Joe Biden's victory did so of their own accord, Trump's lawyers argued in a brief filed on Monday ahead of his impeachment trial.

A speech made by Trump in the hours before the riot "was not an act encouraging an organized movement to overthrow the United States government," his lawyers said.
