Senate Republicans said lead impeachment prosecutor Adam Schiff insulted them during the trial by repeating an anonymously sourced report that the White House had threatened to punish Republicans who voted against President Donald Trump.
"There's no guarantee that next year people will live in more freedom than today, and the prospect for our children is even more in doubt," Schiff said during opening arguments in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
It was just before 1 a.m., as tempers on the floor had started to wear thin, that he reminded senators, House impeachment managers and President Donald Trump's defense team who was in charge.
