3m ago 20:20 Schiff conveys impeachment trial as a fight for democracy
As lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff neared the end of his two-hour presentation, the House intelligence committee chairman laid out what he believes is at stake in the Senate trial.
Schiff pointed to the rise of autocratic leaders around the world to argue that democracy is not “immutable” and that Americans must fight to defend their system of government.
“There’s nothing immutable about this,” Schiff said. “Every generation has to fight for it. We’re fighting for it right now. There’s no guarantee that this democracy that has served us so well will continue to prosper.”
