House Democrats and President Trump's defense team are making their closing arguments in the Senate impeachment trial before lawmakers vote later this week on whether to remove Trump from office.
Both sides presented opposing versions of the president's handling of aid for Ukraine last summer and the impeachment proceedings so far.
With Trump's acquittal all but certain, House manager Jason Crow used his remarks to push back against those lawmakers who argue that Trump's alleged actions do not rise to the level of impeachment.
"If you believe ... that the president's efforts to use his official powers to cheat in the 2020 election jeopardize our national security and are antithetical to our democratic tradition, then you must come to no other conclusion than that the president threatens the fairness of the next election," Crow said.
The House managers also warned that the president could continue to seek foreign interference in the next election.
