The tables have turned in the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

After three days of arguments from the House impeachment managers, the President's legal team has taken over the Senate floor to deliver their side of the story, detailing the defense of the President against the two articles of impeachment.
"You heard the House managers speak for nearly 24 hours over three days," White House counsel Pat Cipollone said on the floor of the Senate as he began his remarks. "We don't anticipate using that much time."
He continued, "We don't believe that they have come anywhere close to meeting their burden for what they're asking you to do. In fact, we believe that when you hear the facts, and that's what we intend to cover today -- the facts -- you will find that the President did absolutely nothing wrong."
Cipollone told senators he intends to go through the record that was established in the House.
