The House managers wrapped up their arguments against President Donald J. Trump on January 24, 2020. Trump’s team, including lawyers Pat Cipollone and Jay Sekulow, now has 24 hours to present their case. After Trump’s lawyers conclude their presentation, senators will have an opportunity to submit questions to both sides in writing. Following that, debate will turn to whether to call witnesses and subpoena documents. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December of 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military aid (that was already approved by Congress) and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son in the video “WATCH LIVE, Impeachment trial of President Trump continues in Senate“, below:
