13:16Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Defending President Donald Trump, attorney Ken Starr suggested that House managers didn't follow proper procedures in presenting their case against the president's actions. "It's why we don't allow deflated footballs or stealing signs from the field. Rules are rules. They are to be followed," he said. Starr then asked: "Have the facts presented to you, as a court as the high court of impeachment, proven trustworthy? Has there been full and fair disclosure in the course of these proceedings?"
House managers and the president’s legal team are each delivering their closing arguments in the impeachment trial on Feb. 3 before senators began to weigh in with debate on whether to remove Trump from office. In December, the House of Representatives charged him with two articles of impeachment -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the Senate on Friday voted to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured.
