Read House managers’ arguments in Trump impeachment trial

In an 111-page document released Saturday, the seven House Democrats who will serve as the prosecutors during the trial say if Trump is not removed from office, he will “continue to endanger our national security, jeopardize the integrity of our elections, and undermine our core constitutional principles.”
