The trial represents multiple firsts in American history: No U.S. president has ever been impeached more than once; Trump will be the first president to ever face an impeachment trial after leaving office; and the jury will be comprised of victims. Trump’s newest legal team, meanwhile, is expected to argue that the timing of the trial is unconstitutional, as well as defend Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric on free-speech grounds. Regardless, few if anyone expects Trump to actually be convicted, at least unless a shocking number of Republican senators change their plans after having already voted to dismiss the trial in the first place. But House Democrats plan to make their case anyway, to the public as much as to the Senate, and prove that Trump and his false stolen-election claims were instrumental to the deadly attack on Congress.
