‘Donald Trump was inciter-in-chief’
- Donald Trump’s impeachment trial for alleged incitement has resumed in the US Senate
- The mob that ransacked Congress last month “was sent here by the president” says Democrat Jamie Raskin
- Trump was ‘inciter in chief’ by riling up his supporters in days and weeks before deadly attack, he says
- Democratic prosecutors are expected to show unseen images of the attack on the Capitol
- Trump’s lawyers and supporters in the Senate argue it is unconstitutional to put a private citizen through this process
- Seventeen Republicans will need to turn against their former president to convict him
- It is unlikely, but – if successful – it would lead to a subsequent vote to bar him from seeking public office again
