0:39Now PlayingHouse prosecutors concluded their case for convicting Donald Trump in his Senate impeachment trial, saying they’ve proven that the former president is guilty of inciting an insurrection when a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
“Senators, America, we need to exercise our common sense about what happened,” Representative Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, said in the Democrats final arguments. “Let’s not get caught up in a lot of outlandish lawyers’ theories here. Exercise your common sense about what just took place in our country.”
House managers spent three days highlighting Trump’s own tweets, speeches and comments to argue that his months-long campaign to stoke anger about the Nov. 3 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. The attempt to overturn the results with “the big lie” the election was stolen culminated in the riot he did nothing to prevent or stop, they argued.
Trump’s lawyers are expected to present their defense on Friday and may only need one day for their arguments, which will include video presentations after House managers played gripping footage of the assault on the Capitol and violent attacks on police officers.
The former president is “very upbeat” as his defense team prepares to present its case, David Schoen, one of his lawyers, said. He said in a Fox News interview that the nation will “be moved” by what they will see when the defense team takes over. He dismissed the edited package of videos presented by the House impeachment managers.
