Washington Post published this video item, entitled “WATCH LIVE | Day 5 of Trump’s impeachment trial” – below is their description.
On Feb. 13, the Senate voted to acquit former president Donald Trump of “incitement of insurrection” after the deadly Capitol riot.
The Senate abandoned a plan to call witnesses in the trial after initially voting to do so. In a surprising turn, lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked that a statement from Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) be admitted into the record rather than she be subpoenaed for testimony. Herrera Beutler’s statement says that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told her that Trump had expressed sympathy for the mob during a heated phone call between the two as the Jan. 6 attack was unfolding.
The Post’s Libby Casey will anchor live coverage of the trial and be joined by reporters Rhonda Colvin, Joyce Koh, Nicole Ellis, Hannah Jewell and James Hohmann. Read more: https://wapo.st/3rOay6G. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube: https://wapo.st/2QOdcqK
