"It will show the extent of what Donald Trump unleashed on our Capitol," the aide added.</p><p>The footage is one part of the House managers' video-heavy presentation in Trump's impeachment trial. The House of Representatives on January 13 charged Trump with "incitement of insurrection" in connection to the deadly Capitol siege.</p><p>On Tuesday, the Senate trial <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/key-takeaways-trump-senate-impeachment-trial-capitol-insurrection-2021-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked off</a> with a debate over the constitutionality of holding a trial in the first place given that Trump is no longer in office and therefore cannot be removed via a conviction. Fifty-six senators voted that the trial was constitutional, while 44 voted that it was not, paving the way for oral arguments to start Wednesday.</p><p>The House impeachment managers argued that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/key-takeaways-trump-senate-impeachment-trial-capitol-insurrection-2021-2">there was no "January exception"</a> to impeachment because it would mean presidents could act with impunity during their final days in office. Trump's actions are impeachable, they said, because he undertook them while in office. Also, removal from office is not the only objective of impeachment because being barred from holding office in the future is also a possibility.</p><p>Trump's defense lawyers leaned heavily on the constitutionality argument, and they also said he was deprived of due process and that the Senate was not the appropriate jurisdiction to "try" Trump.</p><p>House impeachment managers have already leaned on using video to make their case against Trump. At the start of the trial on Tuesday, lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-impeachment-trial-capitol-siege-graphic-montage-video-2021-2">showed graphic footage of the Capitol riot.</a> It depicted Trump supporters verbally and physically assaulting police officers, juxtaposing the violence and mayhem with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-peppered-supporters-with-lies-in-speech-on-overturning-election-2021-1">the incendiary, lie-filled speech</a> the former president delivered prior to the riot. </p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-impeachment-managers-unseen-capitol-attack-footage-trump-trial-2021-2#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-its-like-make-beer-with-picobrew-c-home-brew-2020-3">We tested a machine that brews beer at the push of a button</a></p>
