US politics live updates: Democrats promise never-before-seen Capitol riot footage to make case for Trump’s conviction
House Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin says Trump ‘saw it coming’
The Senate gaveled in a few minutes after their intended noon start time. After a quick prayer and an announcement that there’d be two, 10-minute recesses and a 45-minute dinner break, we jumped straight into the Democrats’ arguments.

-
Trump’s claims about the election, which are provably false, began much earlier than Jan 6. They directly fueled the rioters, and amount to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” that framers had in mind when drafting impeachment provisions into the US constitution
-
Trump committed a dereliction of duty as President by failing to quell the riot
-
Inciting violence is not protected…
