The Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump will feature evidence "that nobody has seen before," House Democrats say.

The trial gets under way Tuesday with up to four hours of arguments about the constitutionality of the Senate weighing whether to convict a former president no longer in office.

In a briefing for reporters ahead of the trial, senior aides on the House impeachment managers team said they plan to use "all the evidence available in all the forms, including evidence that nobody has seen before."

"It's not about politics," one aide said. "This is about the very serious issue of holding President Trump accountable."

1. Exactly, it's not about politics.

If trump isn't held accountable for his actions than no one should ever be held accountable for their actions. I know he probably will be acquitted, but just getting the information out there again is worth the trial. I will probably weep or rage when he is acquitted, but at least I know that some people believe in the rule of law and that that will be recorded in the history books. Some of us hold him accountable.
