Congressman Adam Schiff called on the Senate to remove President Donald Trump from office, saying he cannot be trusted, AFP reported.

"The American people deserve a president they can count on, to put their interest first," said Schiff. "You know, you can't trust this president to do what is right for this country. You can trust he will do what's right for Donald Trump. He'll do it now. He's done it before. He'll do it for the next several months. He'll do it in the election if he's allowed to. This is why, if you find him guilty, you must find that he should be removed." "Because right matters. And truth matters. Otherwise we are lost."

For nine hours, Democrats methodically refuted Republican allegations that Trump had done nothing wrong. They claimed that Trump’s sole motivation to stop freezing aid to Ukraine last July was to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to launch an investigation into Joe Biden.

Impeachment managers will finish arguing on Friday, focusing on a second charge - obstructing Congress. Trump's legal team will defend him for three days. Democrats hope their arguments will convince at least some Republicans, who have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, to support their call to issue summons to four current and former Trump aides to call them as witnesses.

But all this indicates that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will seek to hush up requests to call witnesses and end the trial with a vote to justify Trump by the end of next week.
