"Fight" was the word of the day.
For almost ten minutes, the Trump defense showed a video that was supposed to prove that the Democrats also regularly call for combat.
Trump's lawyers want to refute the accusation of the Democrats that Trump stirred up his supporters with a speech on January 6 and instigated them to storm the Capitol.
Donald Trump
“We fight like devils. And if you don't fight like the devil, you will have no more land. "
After Trump's speech, in which he repeatedly claimed that his election victory had been stolen, thousands of his supporters stormed the Capitol.
Five people were killed, including a police officer.
The House of Representatives then initiated impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.
On the fourth day of the trial, the defense appealed to the Senate to acquit Trump and protect the first amendment to the constitution.
The right to freedom of speech is enshrined in it.
Michael van der Veen, Trump attorney
"To claim that the president intended to cause rioting or violent behavior is an absurd and egregious lie."
The trial could end on Saturday after just five days with a vote on the indictment.
So far it looks like an acquittal for Trump.
For a conviction, 17 Republicans would have to join the 50 Democrats in the Senate, which is not foreseeable.
