Democratic House prosecutors made an expansive case at Donald Trump's impeachment trial that he abused power like no other president in history, swept up by a "completely bogus" Ukraine theory pushed by attorney Rudy Giuliani.
On Friday, the Democrats will press their final day of arguments before skeptical Republican senators, focusing on the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress' investigation.
Trump's legal team is expected to begin presenting its defense on Saturday, a fact Trump bemoaned in a Friday tweet, saying "looks like my lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in TV."
"Otherwise we are lost."
"The president's conduct is wrong. It is illegal. It is dangerous."
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said the Democrats were putting forward "admirable presentations."
But he said, "There's just not much new here."
During the dinner break, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said it seemed like "Groundhog Day in the Senate."
The top Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, acknowledged that many senators "really don't want to be here."
