Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer spoke to reporters at the conclusion of the closing statements. He argued that the defense team has not actually rebutted the House managers' case, though he did not guarantee that every Democrat will be united in voting to convict President Trump.

“Look, I think each Democrat is going to make up his or her own mind. This is an issue of conscience,” he said.

Schumer argued that many Republicans agree with the managers’ case, even if they won’t say so publicly.

“I think in their hearts a lot of Republicans agree with a whole lot of what Adam Schiff said but this President is a vindictive man, he’s a nasty man," Schumer said.

He went on to say “it takes strength and courage ... to go against a president who you know will be vicious and unrelenting against you.”

On the Trump defense team, he said, “They can’t point to what’s wrong with the articles of impeachment. They can’t rebut the arguments for witnesses and documents. They can’t rebut that the President did something that rises to the level of impeachment.”
