Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., asked if the article of impeachment was centered on the accusation that Trump incited the crowd, were the House managers contradicting themselves by outlining the premeditated nature and planning of this event.

Trump's defense lawyer, Michael van der Veen, immediately agreed with the question, saying "yes." He went on to use the remainder of his time to go back and talk about a previous question.

The House managers responded by reiterating that Trump's months-long campaign of disinformation helped lead to the insurrection.

"This attack was not about one speech," Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-Virgin Islands, said. "Most of you men would not have your wives with one attempt at talking to her. It took numerous tries. You had to build it up. That is what the president did as well. He put together a group that would do what he wanted."

The Senate has adjourned until Saturday at 10 a.m.

The Senate has completed the question-and-answer period of the impeachment trial

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked both House managers and Trump's legal team if a future Congress could impeach a former secretary of state.

"Voting to convict the former president would create a new precedent that a formal official can be convicted and disqualified by the Senate," Rubio's question said.

"Therefore, is it not true that, under this new precedent, a future House facing partisan pressure to “lock her up” could impeach a former secretary of state and a future Senate be forced to put her on trial and potentially disqualify from any future office?"

Lead House manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said that the hypothetical question had "no bearing" on the trial.

"In this case, we have a president who committed his crimes against the republic while he was in office. He was impeached by the House of Representatives while he was in office," Raskin said. "So, you know, the hypothetical suggested by the gentleman from Florida has no bearing on this case because I don't think you’re talking about an official who was impeached while they were in office for conduct that they ... committed while they were in office."

Trump lawyer, Michael van der Veen said that the question represented a "slippery slope," saying that impeachment of former officials could become much more common.

"If you see it their way, yes. If you do this the way they want it done, that could happen to, the example there, a former secretary of state. But it could happen to a lot of people. And that’s not the way this is supposed to work," van der Veen said. "And not only could it happen to a lot of people, it’d become much more regular too."
