Description

Donald Trump committed criminal offences whilst president of the United States.

Pro will have to Prove that Donald J Trump under the appropriate federal and/or state law.

The burden of proof is on pro to prove Donald Trump committed an offence. Given this debate does not allow subpoenas or direct testimony, the judgement should based on the available evidence presented by both sides.

This debate is about whether or not Trump committed these offences, not if he would be likely to be convicted in a court of law or if he is likely to be indicted on any of these offences.

Con's role is to defend Donald Trump from the charges Pro puts forward, offering a defense, challenging factual basis and challenging the laws as applied to those circumstances.

Max. Character Limit is high to prevent people being cut-off and is not a suggestion. Quality > Quantity.

No Kritiks. No new arguments in Round 3.
