President Trump's defense lawyers and House managers deliver closing arguments in the Senate impeachment trial. Follow live updates:

will give the House impeachment managers one more chance to argue to senators — and perhaps more importantly, explain to the public — their case that the President withheld a White House meeting and $400 million in security aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, the House's lead impeachment manager, has not said how he will respond to the Senate's decision not to call in former national security adviser John Bolton, even after allegations emerged inthat Trump told him the aid to Ukraine was conditioned on the investigations.

Schiff sought Bolton's testimony in the House impeachment inquiry last year, though he did not pursue a subpoena after Bolton's lawyer threatened to take it to court.

senators can aquit Trump but God has never acquitted him, Americans are liars, no country should emulate your democracy, stop occupying people's country and collecting their oil.

Thank God

If you believe the goal of a Trial is to find the truth, and you believe this Mistrial was not even close; why not show up in downtown DC during the State of Union and make your voice heard?

It's all been a joke from when the senate started, the democrats will take the House and the Senate this year so even is trump gets reelected they can always impeach the crook again. No over yet

I'm sick of seeing anything about this person on my feed. Please get it over with!

TheDemocrats GOP No fan of Trump, but politicians' time would be better spent addressing issues in this video: . Politicians waste time doing what they love best which is spewing words rather than focusing on real needs of our country. ImpeachmentTrial

They know he’s GUILTY! They lie w/ a straight face!! VoteThemAllOut2020 VoteblueSaveAmerica BlueWave2020

Impeachment of a president is always just shameful for the whole nation.

Mike purpura! Ukraine President did not meet in the White House and guess what, he still has not been there. But the Russian Diplomats have!!! Ok. That’s a problem. Why are we sooo chummy with Russia? Everyone should be questioning that!!

CNNPolitics NatSecCNN SenateGOP HouseDemocrats Speaking about a waste of time; given GOP Senate already abdicated oversight responsibility by asking the President* what he wanted. All complicit and up to We The People to hold them ALL accountable in November!

Ken Starr is a joke!!! Really! You need to sit down...

Trump lawyers and GOP senators argument: Thou shall be nice to 'the chosen one', knowing he cheated on you. But, to restore order, prosecute the next Democratic President to the full extent if he or she comes anywhere near the threshold.

Do I hear a fan starting up? SenateGOP realDonaldTrump SenateDems

We’ll decide this shitshow in November

There was no trial . Can’t wait to be charged with something . He saw you do it , not allowed . There’s video of you doing it , not allowed . He told me he did it , not allowed . There’s a recording of admission, not allowed . Trial my ass.......

Do nothing Dems started this as a clown show and it is hilarious that some people are surprised that this will end as clown show in senate.

Can't wait to stop hearing about this scam.

what he do anyway

Yes, trump is breaking the law, is he a king, His base say’s he is, you know the noi nazi and kkk, and all other followers that say he should be king. Not Progressive Democrats , Go. Bernie 🕊

Deport JLo for Subhuman behavior.

Defense seems like A BIT of a stretch. More like criminal cover up assholes and constitutional traitors.

Whatever TrumpIsAnIdiot is trending. How utterly embarrassing for the US. He has made your country literally the laughing stock with the rest of the world.

Boring

The Moscow Mitch white wash.

Closing arguments? They never even opened a trial. Trials have witnesses. This was not a trial. Would a court not allow witnesses on the grounds that depositions and testimony were taken by the grand jury prior to the indictment?

Why even bother?

The world is watching a banana republic form.........

' . . . in conclusion the facts are these: the GoP senators here are cowards. They are weak men -- and women -- lacking integrity and moral character. They kneel and pledge allegiance to, not the United States of American, but to Donald J. Trump. They dishonor this nation.'

Once impeached always impeached!

You guys failed! He ain't going nowhere!!

Thanks, I have OANN on now. And as SpeakerPelosi likes to say realDonaldTrump will forever be acquitted. His asterisk will say 'First President acquitted during election year to go on & win by a landslide. Hers will say 'first speaker to be humiliated by partisan impeachment.

Can’t believe we have to listen to these Democratic delusional cry babies again!! Put me in a dentist chair and drill a cavity instead!!

This is the part where they really earn their rubles!!! TrumpIsAnIdiot

Seems a depressing waste of time considering the almost guaranteed outcome.

impeach him

Blah blah blah

Bolton's account, soon to be available—if not to this body, then to bookstores near you.' The Senate voted against hearing new testimony from John Bolton and others in a close vote last week. trump and his dumbnions have to go. They, the republicans should be tried for treason. The group of republican are a sour bunch, they are the Chaos to Get Smart. trump and his bunch are nothing but con-artists that need to go to prison. In their refusal to listen to any witnesses who could testify to Congress about Trump’s conversations with Zelensky, the Senate Republicans demonstrated that they have no intention of holding a trial. What they are doing, in fact, is much more commonly known as a “coverup”. She struggles with reading.

Watch live: Senate impeachment trial of President TrumpWatch live coverage as Chief Justice John Roberts presides over the U.S. Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. The two articles of impeachment charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. When the inevitable, and wholly predictable, horror show ensues now that Donald Trump answers to no one, has no checks on his power, remember the GOP could have stopped it but didn't have the courage, moral backbone, or regard for their own constituents. Closing arguments in a trial where the jurors were bribed with donations and threatened with a primary challenge. A trial with no witnesses and documents and the outcome sealed before the trial began. What a joke. In other news Senate Republicans insist Kansas City is in Kansas and see no need for any further evidence.
