Suspended President Dilma Rousseff speaks while answering a question from a Senator on the Senate floor during her impeachment trial on August 29, 2016 in Brasilia, Brazil. Senators will vote in the coming days whether to impeach and permanently remove Rousseff from officeSuspended Brazilian president Dilma Rouseff have again denied allegations leveled against her person which subsequently led to her three months suspension away from the seat of power as president of Brazil. Rouseff who stood trial recently at the senate in testimony against her impeachment trial, not only deny breaking budget rules, but also alluded to the fact that the allegations levied against her administration was simply the handiwork of her political rivals head bent on taking her away from power.  " From the day after i was elected, several efforts were taken to destabilize my government".

Rouseff who is accused of taking state funds to patch palpable loop holes in the country's budget denied the allegations before the senate as she says the action are pre determined "coup d' edat" aimed at removing her illegally from office while also destroying her workers party. 'There is no justification for removing me from power, I am innocent, i am an honest person, and i have never committed a crime"

'There is no justification for removing me from power, I am innocent, i am an honest person, and i have never committed a crime.My government made mistakes, but never betrayed voters" she said on Monday. 'I did not commit the crimes that i am accused of in an arbitrary or unjust manner".

Dilma Rouseff who made references to how she was tortured, imprisoned and brutalized during the 1970s military dictatorship era for belonging to a leftist group hinted that she is still very strong in seeing that things goes out well according to the democratic setting."I am very strong then, and at almost 70, am still strong now" --This has been a very dramatic beginning to the trial as many Brazilian expected says an Al jezeera journalist.

Rouseff came to the senate accompanied by heavyweight allies and staunch loyalists, including her presidential predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula La da Silva  alongside a dozens of former cabinet members who were expelled following the suspension of Dilma Rouseff.

Opponents say they will easily reach the necessary two-thirds majority, 54 of 81 senators, to remove her from office.In that case, Rousseff's former vice president turned political enemy, Michel Temer, will be confirmed as president until elections in 2018. Temer, from the center-right PMDB party, has already been acting president since May. He is hardly more popular than Rousseff, according to opinion polls.

The story so far is yet to begin at the presidential west wing given series of controversies that have prevaricated the Trump administration.  No doubt, the issue are enormous as the American people watched closely with keen interest. The big battle continues irrespective of whose names gets into the troubled sheet at the president's oval office, but yet again, the scandals hover around just one name and that becomes the 44th president of the United States. From his uncompromising love for Vladimir Putin down to the sudden dismissal of Michael Flynn, the administration seems struggling with her nationalistic policies barely after an anti-climatic 100 days in office. Though, the Nov. 8 presidential election may have culminated with the painful loss of Hillary Clinton, the wave and call for more nose to the ground-stone seems unflinching given the supposed role played by the Kremlin alongside FBI director James Comey, who many acclaimed was largely responsible in given voters a
