The second impeachment trial for former president Donald J. Trump has begun. The former president faces a single charge – "incitement of insurrection" – for his role in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, which left 5 dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

House impeachment managers laid out a strong case against the former president, including the use of harrowing, never-before-seen surveillance video that showed just how close the rioters got to members of Congress and now-former Vice President Mike Pence. 

Attorneys for Trump slammed the case against him, calling it "political theater" from Democrats, arguing that Trump was utilizing his First Amendment rights by disputing the election results, and claim that the trial is not consitutional, saying that the Senate cannot try Trump since he has left office.
