Democrats argue Trump brief "lacks a legitimate defense of his misconduct"

House impeachment managers filed Tuesday a response to the White House's 110-page "trial memorandum," arguing that the brief is "heavy on rhetoric and procedural grievances" but lacks a "legitimate defense of his misconduct."

Why it matters: This is the last brief that either side will file before the start of the impeachment trial, which kicks off with a debate on procedures and scope at 1pm Tuesday.
