In an impeachment trial, the closing arguments may be presented by both the House impeachment managers and the defense team representing the official facing impeachment. The House impeachment managers, who act as prosecutors, summarize the case against the official, while the defense presents their counterarguments. Ultimately, the Senate serves as the jury, deliberating based on the arguments presented.
