Democrats wrap up impeachment case

House managers are wrapping up their third and final day to present their case for impeaching President Donald Trump. Then it will be his defense’s turn.

The managers argued today that President Trump abused his power by withholding foreign aid to Ukraine in exchange for something beneficial to him.

The Washington Post reports Rep. Adam Schiff asked Senators put themselves on the receiving end of an investigation.

“Do you think for a moment that any of you, no matter what your relationship with this president, no matter how close you are to the president, do you think for a moment that if he felt it was in his interest, he would ask you to be investigated?” Schiff asked Senators. “And if somewhere deep down below you realize that he would, you cannot leave a man like that in office.”
