WATCH: Opening arguments in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial

Opening arguments began in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial Wednesday after an emotional first day ended with the Senate voting to hear the case for convicting the former president of inciting the riot at the U.S. Capitol even though he is no longer in office.

Trump is standing trial before the Senate this week on an impeachment charge that accuses him of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
