		</div><p>Defence lawyers have begun their opening arguments in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump as the case speeds to an expected conclusion this weekend.</p>
<p>The Trump legal team is expected to argue that the former president did not incite the January 6 riot at the US Capitol and that his speech was protected by the first amendment of the constitution.</p>
<p>The lawyers have also raised questions about the trial’s constitutionality because Mr Trump is no longer in office.</p>
<p>They are not expected to use anywhere close to their allotted time and will wrap up their arguments later on Friday.</p>
<p>After that, senators who are serving as jurors will have an opportunity to ask questions of lawyers for both sides, followed by closing arguments.</p>
<p>The case is likely to conclude as soon as Saturday.</p>
