The Democrats have rested their case against Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, now the defence begins. After three days of evidence, including the showing of emotive previously unseen footage of the Capitol Hill riots, Rep. Jamie Raskin asked the chamber “what is impeachable conduct if not this?” The former president’s legal team is now mounting their case, which is not expected to last long. It could be all over by Saturday night. From Washington, The Hill’s Juliegrace Brufke joins the show to assess the evidence so far. It’s unlikely 17 Republicans will switch sides, but has the trial torpedoed any chance of another Trump run for the Oval Office?
