Lead Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff urges senators during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump to convict and remove the 45th president.

Schiff's comments came Monday during closing arguments.

This also comes after senators acknowledged the House Democratic managers have essentially proven their case, that Trump abused power and obstructed Congress, by leveraging U.S. military aid to push Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden to thwart the 2020 election.

But key Republicans have decided the president's actions toward Ukraine do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses that warrant the dramatic upheaval of conviction and removal from office.

His acquittal in Wednesday's vote is all but assured.
