2:06Now PlayingTrump’s legal team, led by attorneys David Schoen and Bruce Castor, began to lay out the defense argument that’s expected to last less than four hours.
The defense’s case will be followed by questions from senators, which could happen later Friday, setting the trial on track to conclude with a final vote as soon as Saturday.
