The nine Democrats prosecuting the House’s case against former President Donald Trump face the almost impossible task of convincing two-thirds of the Senate to convict Trump of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
They’ll argue that the process is constitutional, since Trump’s offense occurred while he was in office, even though the Senate trial is happening after his term expired. They plan to highlight the former president’s words to his supporters on the day of the riot, as well as his actions in the weeks leading up to the deadly attack.
