House managers argue that senators have a ‘duty’ to remove Trump from office; Sen. Manchin calls for censure

House managers argued Monday that senators have a “duty” to remove President Trump from office as they delivered closing arguments in the impeachment trial, following last week’s vote not to call witnesses regarding his conduct toward Ukraine.

Senators heard from both the House impeachment managers, led by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), and Trump’s lawyers, led by White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump personal lawyer Jay Sekulow. The trial is expected to end Wednesday with an acquittal.
