WATCH: Trump lawyer Sekulow calls impeachment inquiry 'partisan' and 'reckless'- First impeachment

Trump's first impeachment - 2020 Jay Sekulow, the personal attorney to President Donald Trump, argued that the articles of impeachment "fail to allege impeachable offenses," and thus should fail. "This entire campaign of impeachment, that started from the very first day that the president was inaugurated, was a partisan one and it should never happen again," he said. Sekulow further described the proceedings as "reckless." House managers and the president’s legal team are each delivering their closing arguments in the impeachment trial on Feb. 3 before senators began to weigh in with debate on whether to remove Trump from office. In December, the House of Representatives charged him with two articles of impeachment -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the Senate on Friday voted to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured.
