Former president Trump 'furious' as he watches trial

Former President Donald Trump is "furious" as he watches the impeachment trial, aides have told ABC News Correspondent Kyra Phillips.

"I'm watching today and seeing everything that was brought forward as evidence and thinking, how are his attorneys going to defend him tomorrow?" Phillips said.

This comes after much of Trump's legal defense team quit shortly before the trial.

Video of Pence being escorted from Capitol Hill during violent riot released

ABC News' Chief White House correspondent Jon Karl talked about the video released Wednesday showing former Vice President Mike Pence being evacuated from the Senate floor during the violent riots on Jan 6, after protestors made threats on his life.

"They wanted to get there, they wanted to stop the certification and they wanted to get at Mike Pence because they saw him as a traitor because he was unwilling to do Donald Trump's bidding at this," Karl said.

Karl also noted that just two minutes before the video of Pence being evacuated from the Hill, former President Donald Trump had tweeted about him lacking the courage to change the results of the election.

"I really think it's one of the most damning pieces of evidence we saw today, on a day when there were obviously many damning pieces of evidence," Karl said.

House managers delivered 'intense' arguments

ABC News' Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran said the House managers' arguments were "intense," and that they had clearly prepared the case they presented in the Senate chamber.

"Their presentation was both methodical and infuriating. It was organized and terrifying at times," Moran said.

Moran added that the timeline that the House managers presented spanned from well before the election to the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.

Arguments to resume Thursday at noon

The Senate has recessed for the day after roughly eight hours of arguments from House impeachment managers.

The House managers will continue laying out their case charging Trump with "incitement of insurrection" at noon on Thursday.

Trump's legal team will have its turn to respond to the House impeachment managers' arguments on Friday and, if more time is needed, on Saturday.
