b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Our special coverage of the historic second U.S. Senate Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump continues, as U.S. House Impeachment Managers presented damning evidence in their opening arguments against the disgraced former president. In a meticulously documented presentation, the House Managers detailed Trump's months-long effort to lay the groundwork for insurrection, using his various platforms to gin up false outrage among his supporters with baseless claims of a 'stolen election' beginning in summer of 2020, and culminating in his carefully orchestrated attack on Jan. 6 to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's victory. The managers showed how Trump assembled the 'logs and the kindling' to have his supporters falsely believe the election was rigged 'so if he lost, his supporters would be ready to light the match.'\\xa0 They detailed Trump's actions to pressure election officials and state lawmakers to overturn the election for him, to push the Justice Department to launch fraudulent investigations, his attacks on his own Vice President Mike Pence, and much more. Chilling, previously unreleased video and federal charging documents revealed how close some of Trump's insurrectionist mob came to succeeding in their goal of assassinating VP Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.\\xa0 LISA GRAVES of True North Research, former Deputy Asst.
