This was the first question asked during the Q&A portion of the trial​

Senate TV

The four-hour question period has just begun in the Senate.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, a longtime Vermont Democrat who is presiding over the trial, asked the clerk to read the first question submitted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein directed to the House impeachment managers.

"Isn't it the case that the violent attack and siege on the Capitol on January 6th would not have happened if not for the conduct of President Trump?" the clerk read.

House impeachment manager Rep. Joaquin Castro answered the question, pointing to some of the arguments he and his colleagues raised during their presentations earlier this week.

"To answer your question very directly, Donald Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob. Although he could have forcefully intervened to stop the violence, he never did. In other words, this violent, bloody insurrection that occurred January 6th would not have occurred but for President Trump," Castro said.

Here's what Trump said after his second acquittal​

Former President Trump just released a statement following the Senate vote to acquit him in his second impeachment trial.

Part of the statement read:

"It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree. I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate."

Trump also thanked his legal team and "all of the United States Senators and Members of Congress who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country," in the statement.
