Herschmann is part of the team defending President Donald Trump in the impeachment trial in the Senate. On Thursday during impeachment hearings, Herschmann defended President Donald Trump by reciting a campaign-style list of his many accomplishments, including building a border wall and the booming economy.

He replied to a question from GOP Sens. Mike Braun and John Barrasso about Trump’s performance by saying, “The House managers coming before you are accusing the president of doing things, in their words, solely for personal and political gain and claiming he’s not doing things in the best interests of the American people. The American people are telling you just the opposite. The president’s approval rating while we’re sitting here in the middle of these impeachment hearings, have hit an all-time high.”

Eric Herschmann Testimony to January 6 committee

On June 23, 2022, the fifth, January 6 committee public hearing featured a video replay of Herschmann’s June 13, 2022, testimony. He described events leading up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol to the committee in testimony with blunt and colorful terms.

He testified that he told Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark “good, effing A-hole, congratulations. You just admitted your first step or action you take as attorney general would be committing a felony,” after learning of his plan to be installed as acting Attorney General and send out a letter to state officials with false accusations of voter fraud.

After Cassidy Hutchinson testified before the January 6 Committee, a spokesman for Herschmann claimed without evidence “that a handwritten note regarding a potential statement for then-President Donald Trump to release during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was written by him during a meeting at the White House that afternoon, and not by White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.”
