Trump's lawyers dismiss impending impeachment trial as unconstitutional

Donald Trump's legal team have dismissed his impeachment over the Capitol riots last month, after Democrats said the former president aimed the crowds "like a cannon" during his speech before the violence.

Mr Trump's legal team said the Senate has no authority to try the former president now he is a private citizen, and that the chamber also lacks the jurisdiction to ban him from running for office again.
