WATCH: House managers say Trump lawyers misrepresented information | Trump's first impeachment trial

Trump's first impeachment - 2020

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., gave House managers a chance to combat information from President Donald Trump’s legal team during the Senate impeachment trial on Wednesday, Jan. 29. In responding to Stabenow’s questions, House manager Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said Trump’s lawyers misrepresented information about who said there was a link between Ukraine aid and Ukraine’s willingness to announce an investigation into the Bidens.

Senators had their first chance to ask questions of the House managers and President Donald Trump’s legal team on Wednesday, Jan. 29. That came after both sides were given three days, respectively, to present their case. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The questions come ahead of a vote on whether to bring forward witnesses and documents as part of the Senate trial. The Senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office.
