A lawyer for Donald Trump did not directly answer when asked “exactly when” the former president found out rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 and what specific actions he took to stop the violence.

Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — two of the Republicans considered most likely to vote to convict Trump of inciting an insurrection — posed the question to Trump’s defense team.

Attorney Michael van der Veen only went as far as to say Trump sent a tweet about the attack on 2:38 p.m. ET that day, “so it was certainly sometime before that.”

He claimed the onus was on House impeachment managers to find out the information. The attorney contended the Democratic prosecutors relied on “hearsay” to make their case.
