House impeachment managers will finish arguing their case on Thursday (Friday, February 12, 2021, in Manila) that former President Donald Trump incited an insurrection one day after they showed violent and disturbing video footage of the attack on the US Capitol as they urged senators to convict at the Senate trial.

The managers plan to conclude their case against Trump by zeroing in on Trump's lack of remorse following the deadly attack and going further into the role he played, according to senior aides on the impeachment team, Clare Foran, Jeremy Herb and Manu Raju reported for CNN.


The managers also intend to examine the harm that the attack caused to the people in the Capitol, including beyond just the physical scars, the aides said. In addition, they will discuss the legal issues surrounding the case, according to the aides, in what will likely be a prebuttal to the arguments they expect to hear from Trump's legal team when the defense presentation begins on Friday.


Never-before-seen Capitol security camera footage aired during Wednesday's presentation forced senators to relive the harrowing attack and confront chilling new details about the incredibly serious threat posed to everyone in the Capitol, including lawmakers.


A number of GOP senators made clear Wednesday evening that they were shaken by what they saw, but still signaled they won't change how they plan to vote as Trump appears headed toward acquittal at the conclusion of the trial.
