Day 3: The 2nd Impeachment trial of Donald Trump has House Managers closing arguments

Donald Trump is the only U.S. President to be Impeached twice. The House of Representatives voted to impeach him who they believe "Incited an Insurrection" of Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021. His supporters breached the building when congress was certifying the November 2020 election. 

Five people died including a capitol hill police officer. Two other officers committed suicide after the breach. 

On Day 3 of the Impeachment Trial. The House managers made their final arguments. The most compelling is the Pro-Trump supporters claiming that Trump invited them to attack capitol hill. 

Also interesting is the fact that Republicans begged Trump to stop the attack. He didn't listen to them. He did nothing for hours and never sent in the national guard.

Over 300 individuals have been arrested by federal authorities after the attack. As recently as today on Thursday Feb. 11, 2021. Five members of the "Proud Boys" were arrested and will be charged with conspiracy. All of them were dressed alike on Jan. 6 who had planned their attack on the capitol building.
