FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

President’s Legal Team Lays Out Defense Against Impeachment -New York Post “Turnabout is fair play — and now it’s President Trump’s turn. Trump’s impeachment defense came out with rhetorical guns blazing Saturday – accusing the House Democrats’ impeachment managers of hiding evidence from the senators,” Mary Kay Linge reports. “Today we are going to confront them on the merits of their argument,” White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said. “They have the burden of proof and they have not come close to meeting it.” Must-read: “‘Dazzling’: Adam Schiff's history of inaccuracies, conspiracy theories” Schumer Whiffs Impeachment -The Wall Street Journal It’s been a tough week for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “In fairness, Mr. Schumer was handed the weakest impeachment case in U.S. history. He began this exercise facing 53 Republican senators who spent months watching the most liberal House Democrats use secret hearings, leaked transcripts and strong-arm tactics to produce two vague and legally dubious articles of impeachment,” Kimberly Strassel writes. Trial ratings plummet: "Impeachment trial gets lower ratings than Jeopardy! on a bad night" Trump Sets New Standard for Pro-Life Presidents in Address to March for Life -The Federalist “President Donald Trump became the first president to attend the March for Life rally in its 47th year on the National Mall on Friday,” Tristan Justice reports. “At the demonstration, Trump made clear his commitment to pro-life values while hundreds of protestors carried signs declaring Trump the most pro-life president in history.”  President Trump: We will defend the rights of every child, born and unborn Newt Gingrich: Trump Triumphs at World Economic Forum While Democrats Pursue Baseless Impeachment -Fox News “President Trump’s visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week was a bigger triumph than anyone could possibly have imagined a year ago,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich writes. “The counter-staging of President Trump landing at Davos while the Senate began the trial over his phony impeachment was a Reagan-quality move . . . President Trump gave an important, principled speech that was worthy of the leader of the biggest economy and most powerful military in the world.”  In Davos, President Trump showed how America is winning again VP Mike Pence Meets Pope Francis in Private Audience at Vatican -Fox News “Vice President Mike Pence met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday, discussing the anti-abortion march in Washington,” Frances D'Emilio reports. “The pope and the vice president had a private hour-long conversation.
