House Democrats on Wednesday began their three-day argument that President Trump should be removed from office, mostly repeating testimony and evidence that was on full display during the hearings that led to their party-line vote to impeach him.

In a two-hour opening argument before the Senate, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) charged Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to probe corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter for his own political benefit.

“To implement his corrupt scheme, President Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into two discredited allegations that would benefit President Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign,” Schiff said.

“When the Ukrainian president did not immediately assent, President Trump withheld two official acts to induce the Ukrainian leader to comply — a head of state meeting and military funding. President Trump withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to a strategic partner at war with Russia to secure foreign help with his re-election, in other words, to cheat,” Schiff continued.

Another House manager, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, a former Orlando police chief, charged that Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was deeply involved in the effort, citing the House testimony of Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

She also noted former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s description of the pressure campaign on Ukraine, where he said that Giuliani and Sondland were executing a “drug deal.”

“Senators, as a former chief of police, I think it’s quite interesting that Ambassador Bolton categorized the corrupt scheme, the pressure campaign as ‘a drug deal,’ ” she said, adding: “The president was the center of this scheme.”

Trump, who was impeached last month on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, denies any wrongdoing and many of his fellow Republicans in the Senate say his behavior does not fit the description of “high crimes and misdemeanors” outlined in the Constitution as a reason to oust a president.

The president and his legal team say there was no pressure on Zelensky and that the Democrats’ case is based on hearsay aimed at overturning Trump’s 2016 election win.

Trump is almost certain to be acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to remove him from office.

During a break, GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas told reporters he thought that House Democratic managers were getting repetitive.

“I think we’re already beginning to lose certainly the television audience and maybe the press to some extent, but certainly senators are struggling to try to see why we have to sit there, sit hearing the same arguments over and over and over and over again,” Cornyn said.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) brought a crossword puzzle into the chamber to work on, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could be seen nodding off before snapping to attention.

Schiff, meanwhile, kept talking after 9:00 p.m. about Trump’s multiple public statements on Ukraine, the Bidens and corruption, which he displayed on video.

Others appeared physically pained by the long Dem presentation, which continues with another eight hours each on both Thursday and Friday before Trump’s lawyers have the same 24 hours to make their case Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.

Senators from both parties got up to walk around and stretch their legs — including Democrats Cory Booker of New Jersey, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Gary Peters of Michigan, along with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis walked out for more than 15 minutes as Demings addressed the Senate around 5 p.m.

GOP Sens. Mike Crapo and James Risch of Idaho — who was busted getting some shut-eye on Tuesday — were also missing from their seats for stretches.

Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow earlier questioned why Democrats wanted more documents and witness testimony when they already had enough information to present 24 hours of evidence.

“We just went through two and a half hours of laying out their case to go with the 11 hours laying out their case last night. Unless he’s making it up, it seems like he’s got a lot of information, so proceed with your case,” Sekulow said about Schiff’s opening statement.
