Impeachment manager Rep. David Cicilline speaks on the first day of former President Donald Trump s second impeachment trial (Congress/Getty)
David Cicilline, the gay Democrat serving as an impeachment manager in Donald Trump’s Senate trial, delivered blistering opening arguments against the former president.
The Rhode Island Democrat, who is co-chair of the Congressional LGBT+ Equality Caucus and one of just eight out LGBT+ lawmakers to sit in the House, is part of the team of impeachment managers presenting the case to the Senate for the former president’s conviction on grounds of inciting insurrection.
Cicilline, who was lead sponsor of the article of impeachment, is helping to put the case for conviction to the Senate after the chamber voted by 56 to 44 on Tuesday (9 February) that the effort is still valid despite Trump’s exit from office.
