WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s defense lawyers stunned the United States Senate on Tuesday by acknowledging that their client had incited the Capitol riot, but only because his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, made him do it.​
The Senate listened in astonished silence as Trump’s lawyers coldly and methodically hurled Kushner under the bus.​
Bruce Castor, one of Trump’s lead attorneys, claimed that the ex-President had been reluctant to speak to the angry mob of supporters on January 6th, and did so only after Kushner assured him, “What could possibly go wrong?”​
“It’s gonna be awesome!” Castor quoted Kushner exclaiming.​
According to Davis Logsdon, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, the lawyers’ new argument could be persuasive “because it fits into a larger pattern of everything Jared Kushner doing or saying turning into crap.”​
“Although it remains unlikely that there are enough Republican votes to convict, this new claim gives G.O.P. senators another option: voting to remove Jared Kushner as Trump’s son-in-law,” he said.​

 
That's the same argument that Leslie Van Houten used. It didn't work.
