U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on Friday told her Senate colleagues before Trump's impeachment trial resumed: "Don't bury your head in the sand and then complain it's dark."
Democrats serving as prosecutors in U.S. President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Republican-led Senate will make their case he improperly interfered in Congress' probe of his dealings with Ukraine in their final day of arguments on Friday.
Democratic managers from the House of Representatives will try to convince senators and the U.S. public that the Republican president is guilty of the charge of obstructing Congress for withholding key witnesses and documents from the investigation.
The Democratic-led House impeached Trump last month on that charge and a separate charge of abuse of power for allegedly trying to coerce Ukraine's government into digging up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, a top contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The impeachment trial in the Senate, the third such proceeding in U.S. history, will determine whether Trump is ousted from power less than 10 months before he faces re-election.

CNN reports that Biden found common ground with his predecessor over their support for Covid booster shots. .

developing the vaccine early on in the pandemic. .

Experts say these deaths are directly correlated with the low vaccination
rates of Trump-led counties.

This Day in History:, President Clinton
Is Impeached.
December 19, 1998.
The House of Representatives approved two articles
of impeachment against President Bill Clinton.
Clinton had been charged with lying under oath
to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice.
As only the second president in U.S. history
to be impeached at the time, the president
vowed to finish his term.
The charges emerged from a
White House affair between Clinton and
a 21-year-old unpaid intern, Monica Lewinsky.
Initially, Clinton denied the affair,
famously saying, âI did not have sexual
relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.â.
Months later, Clinton admitted to the
affair in a grand jury testimony and publicly via a
four-minute televised address from the White House.
After special counsel Kenneth Starr's
report recommending impeachment,
the House conducted an impeachment inquiry.
Three articles of impeachment were
approved following nearly 14 hours of debate
