Erin Schaff, The New York TimesRep. Jason Crow, one of seven House Democratic impeachment managers, is pictured in Washington on Jan. 20. When U.S. Rep. Jason Crow began his opening remarks in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Jan. 22, he did not talk first about abuse of power, or obstruction of Congress, or the Constitution, or even the president. Instead, he talked about Oleksandr Markiv. Markiv, a Ukrainian soldier, died defending his country last year from Russian-backed militiamen, cut down by shrapnel from a mortar attack, as told by the Los Angeles Times.
