During the hearing on Tuesday, impeachment manager Hakeem Jeffries took the stand where he was asked a question by Jay Sekulow, a member of the President’s defense team. “Why are we here?” asked Sekulow, according to the New York Post.

Jeffries, being a New York-based Democrat, was likely influenced greatly by The Notorious B.I.G’s music because, during his response to Sekulow’s question, he quoted the Brooklyn legend with some attitude. “We are here, sir, because President Trump pressured a foreign government to target an American citizen for political and personal gain,” said Jeffries. “We are here, sir, because President Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election and corrupted our democracy. And we are here, sir, to follow the facts, follow the law, be guided by the Constitution, and present the truth to the American people. That is why we are here, Mr. Sekulow. If you don’t know, now you know.”
