Prosecutors in former U.S. president Donald Trump’s impeachment trial said on Wednesday they would prove he was no “innocent bystander,” but the “inciter in chief” of the deadly attack at the Capitol aimed at overturning his election loss to Joe Biden.
The House Democrats showed piles of evidence from the former president himself — hundreds of Trump tweets and comments that culminated in his Jan. 6 rally cry to go the Capitol and “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. Trump then did nothing to stem the violence and watched with “glee,” they said, as the mob ransacked the iconic building. Five people died.
The senators also saw for the first time the detailed security video of the break-in and heard grim emergency calls from Capitol police.
The day’s proceedings unfolded after Tuesday’s emotional start that left the former president fuming when his attorneys delivered a meandering defence and failed to halt the trial on constitutional grounds. Some allies called for yet another shakeup to his legal team.
It appears unlikely that the House prosecutors will call witnesses, and Trump has declined a request to testify. The trial is expected to continue into the weekend.
