With President Trump's acquittal looking like a done deal, the impeachment trial neared its conclusion with closing arguments on Monday.

The Republican majority-controlled Senate successfully blocked the introduction of new evidence and witnesses to Trump's impeachment trial.

Throughout the trial, Democratic impeachment managers tended to focus on what the president actually did while Trump's defense largely focused on process arguments and technicalities.

Technically, what the president did is impeachable.
