Raw Story reports:

Republican senators received a violently metaphorical threat before the impeachment vote. One of President Donald Trump’s confidantes said GOP senators were warned not to vote for impeachment — or else, reported CBS News. “Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike,” senators were told, according to the confidante. It’s not clear who delivered the message or how it was sent.

In opening statements, House managers examined the debunked conspiracy theories invoked by Pres. Trump.
