This afternoon, Trump’s defense wrapped up its oral arguments, using under 3 hours of the allotted 16. These are the biggest moments from each day of the #ImpeachmentTrial so far. businessinsider.com/key-takeaways-…
The trial opened day one with House Impeachment Manager @RepRaskin urging senators to not make a January exception letting Trump off the hook. "This cannot be the future of America," he said.
Trump’s impeachment lawyer Bruce Castor suggested that Trump doesn't need to be impeached because the country already voted him out of office.
At the end of day one, the Senate voted that former President Trump's second impeachment trial was constitutional. Six Republicans broke ranks to vote with the Democrats. 
On day two, the House Impeachment Managers began making their case with emotional testimonies about the moments leading up to the Capitol breach.
Del. @StaceyPlaskett dove into how multiple Trump supporters and members of far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys planned to engage in violence at the Capitol and revealed never-been-seen security footage from January 6.
Here are all the key takeaways from day two. businessinsider.com/house-managers…
On day three, the House impeachment managers had another 8 hours to finish presenting their case. @RepJoeNeguse called Trump "overwhelmingly guilty" of inciting an insurrection and "humbly" asked for a conviction.
Trump was charged with “incitement of insurrection” related to his role in the failed coup at the Capitol on January 6. We were on the ground in DC on that day and were inside the Capitol during the siege.
On day four, Trump’s defense took just under three hours to make its arguments. 13 minutes were spent showing a lengthy montage of Democratic lawmakers, politicians, and celebrities using the term "fight" in political speeches. insider.com/trump-lawyers-…
