On their second day of arguments in President Trump’s Senate trial, House managers focused on their first article of impeachment, abuse of power. They accused Trump of “extorting” Ukraine’s government by withholding $400 million in critical military aid and a White House meeting until Ukraine delivered an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Nick Schifrin reports.

House impeachment managers are now in their second day of prosecuting the case to remove President Trump from office. On Thursday, they laid out why they believe Trump abused his presidential power. Yamiche Alcindor and Lisa Desjardins join Judy Woodruff to discuss the Democrats’ presentation, how senators in the chamber appeared to be receiving it and what we’re hearing from Trump himself.
