The House Impeachment managers on Thursday completed their arguments against Donald Trump, urging senators to not vote in favour of Donald Trump otherwise it would set a dangerous precedent for the country in the future. `
After 2 days of presentations, including rare video footages of Jan 6 when a mob stormed the US capitol, Democrats rested their case asking all the senators to vote for conviction.
"We humbly, humbly, ask you to convict President Trump for the crime for which he is overwhelmingly guilty. Because if you don't, if we pretend this didn't happen, or worse, if we let it go unanswered, who's to say it won't happen again?" House impeachment manager Joe Neguse said in his closing remarks, reported CNN.
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin also thanked the members of the Senate for the "close attention and seriousness of purpose" they demonstrated during their presentations.
The trial will resume Friday when Trump’s defense team begins presenting its case that the president did not incite the attack on the Capitol.
A vote on the article of impeachment will be decided after four hours of closing arguments and an unspecified amount of time for senators to deliberate.
