The second day of former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial began on Wednesday with a warning for parents and teachers about "graphic and disturbing" videos set to be shown.

House impeachment managers on Wednesday began making their case for convicting Trump for incitement of insurrection, and they reportedly plan to make use of previously-unseen footage from the Capitol riot. At the start of the trial's second day, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) offered a warning for those who might be watching with children that some clips will be disturbing.
