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.

White House Claim: The impeachment inquiry had no authority to begin without a full House vote. Reality: A House vote is not necessary. Nevertheless, the House took not one vote, but two.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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:

White House claim: Trump's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, argues that abuse of power is not impeachable. Reality: In 1998, Mr. Dershowitz asserted: "If you have somebody who completely corrupts the office... and abuses trust... you don't need a technical crime."

@RepAdamSchiff is a true patriot and I am so honored to be serving with him during this historic moment in our country where we need courageous leaders who put our country's future first.#TruthMatters -
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."

For almost 2 weeks, Trump's defense team has peddled lies and conspiracy theories on the Senate floor. It's disgraceful. This should go without saying, but

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.”

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.

Actually, on the old video, it is possibly politically helpful now for
@RoryStewartUK to have the label "staunch remainer" but at the time of use, less so. The reality is that he is someone who would have preferred to remain but who was advocating compromise#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.

We were told that the sun is 93m miles from earth. And how big is the sun compared to earth? Roughly about 1,300,000 earth can fit inside the sun. It is so big that the earth is just a dot. The light from the sun would have been scattered evenly.

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 https://twitter.com/HouseIntel/status/1220785828181544962 …

White House claim: The President was really concerned about burden sharing. Reality: The burden did not change between freezing and releasing the aid. There was no new effort to get others to contribute more, and Europe in fact contributes a great deal to Ukraine.
