Trump impeachment

The statement comes days after the Senate minority leader said former President Donald Trump committed a "disgraceful dereliction of duty" on Jan. 6.

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski will face voters in 2022, but her state's new primary and voting system likely means she'll be in less danger of losing her primary.

The former president is being tried on one article of impeachment saying he incited the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Videos shown during the proceedings may contain profanity and violence.

The former president is set to be acquitted as soon as Saturday despite a compelling and extensive case made by Democrats, as most Republicans once again circle the Trump wagon.

Many of the statements referenced in the Senate impeachment trial appear in the criminal cases against the alleged rioters.

House managers used the first of their two days for arguments to present new footage from security cameras showing how close rioters got to Vice President Mike Pence, lawmakers and staff on Jan. 6.

House impeachment managers played new video and audio documenting the violent mayhem at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin opened the trial with video of the scenes of pro-Trump rioters breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6. Many senators panned the former president's defense team.

Former President Donald Trump's legal team also argued that the second impeachment trial should not move forward because he is no longer in office.

Donald Trump became the first president impeached twice after the House voted to approve an article on inciting an insurrection. It's unlikely enough Republicans will join Democrats to convict him.

The Senate trial began Tuesday on one article the House approved, charging former President Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection for the Capitol riot. Most senators want a short trial.

The former president is accused of having incited a mob of his supporters on Jan. 6, leading to the insurrection at the Capitol.
