House impeachment managers presented a graphic video at the start of former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, showing disturbing footage of protesters ransacking the Capitol.
After playing footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said:
Trump lawyer David Schoen criticized the tactic as an effort to "chill and horrify."
"They want to put you through a 16-hour presentation over two days focusing on this as if it were some sort of blood sport. And to what end? For healing? For unity? For accountability? Not for any of those."
