37:04Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
In her closing argument, Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., said that President Donald Trump "committed grave abuses of power," adding that he orchestrated a cover-up "unprecedented in American history."
"He remains unapologetic, unrestrained and intent on continuing his sham to defraud our elections," she added. 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.
