The historic criminal trial of former President Donald Trump reached a critical day on Friday, as the prosecution and defense made their closing arguments. The jury is now deliberating whether to convict Trump of inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The prosecution argued that Trump's actions were "a clear and present danger" to the republic, and that he must be held accountable for his role in the attack. The defense, meanwhile, argued that Trump was simply exercising his First Amendment rights, and that he did not incite the violence.
The jury is expected to begin deliberations on Friday afternoon. If they find Trump guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
The trial is the first time that a former U.S. president has been tried for a crime. It is also the first time that a president has been impeached twice. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He was acquitted by the Senate in February 2020.
The January 6 attack on the Capitol was a dark day for American democracy. It was the first time since the War of 1812 that the U.S. Capitol had been overrun by an enemy force. The attack was also the culmination of Trump's months-long effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
In the weeks leading up to the attack, Trump repeatedly made false claims about the election being stolen from him. He also urged his supporters to come to Washington, D.C., on January 6 to protest the certification of Joe Biden's victory.
On January 6, Trump gave a speech to his supporters in which he repeated his false claims about the election. He also told his supporters to "fight like hell" to save the country. After Trump's speech, his supporters marched to the Capitol and broke into the building.
The attack on the Capitol was a direct assault on American democracy. It was also a reminder of the fragility of our republic. The trial of Donald Trump is an important step in holding him accountable for his role in the attack. It is also a chance for the American people to heal and move forward.
