The congressman argued in his closing statements that the senators have a duty to convict Trump on the articles of impeachment that the House managers have supported.

The GOP-majority Senate last week voted against adding additional witnesses and documentation for the impeachment trial after the House managers had argued that it was necessary. The upper chamber’s Friday vote likely sealed President Trump’s acquittal when the Senate officially votes Wednesday.

The House voted to impeach the president on articles of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in December.
