3:36Now PlayingTrump’s lawyers completed their case in little more than three hours of the 16 hours allotted for each side to present its case.
The next phase of the trial allows for as much as four hours of questions from senators to the House managers and Trump lawyers, although some senators said they doubt they’d take that long.
In closing the case for Trump, lawyer Bruce Castor said, “Our country needs to get back to work. I know that you know that. But instead we are here. The majority party promised to unify and deliver more Covid relief. But instead, they did this.”
Echoing the complaints of “cancel culture” often voiced by Trump’s supporters, Castor said, “Let us be clear: This trial is about far more than President Trump. It is about silence and banning the speech the majority does not agree with. It is about canceling 75 million Trump voters and criminalizing political viewpoints. That is what this trial is really about.”
