KEY STRATEGIES

● Democrats will likely try to take advantage of senators’ own experiences, tapping into their emotions.

● They will describe in detail — and show on video — what happened as the mob broke through police barriers, injured cops, ransacked the Capitol and hunted for lawmakers.

● More video evidence is expected, as they begin arguments on the merits of the case — including some that hasn’t been seen before.

● Trump’s lawyers have tried to tap into raw partisan anger. One of the lawyers criticised statements from Democrats that he said were also inciting violence, and said the Democratic prosecutors are fuelled by a “hatred” of Trump and fear that they will lose power.
