The managers, as Vox's Andrew Prokop writes, will serve as the equivalent of prosecutors in the impeachment trial, continuing to make the case that Trump should be removed from office over his attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political opponent, and over his administration's stonewalling of Congress's inquiry into that matter.
