He shouts that “we're going to walk down to the Capitol” as he encourages a futile fight over his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump is charged by the House with inciting the violent mob attack on the U.S. Capitol to overturn the election.

His lawyers also say that trying a former president is unconstitutional.
The debate over that constitutional question is expected to highlight the opening day.
