Video footage from The Hill on Friday showed a plane with a banner that read “convict Trump and lock him up” flying above Mar-a-Lago, according to CNN.

Former President Donald Trump’s impeachment legal team began their defense soon after the plane flew the banner over Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, according to CNN.

A representative from The Mar-a-Lago Club declined to comment to the Daily Caller News Foundation. It is unconfirmed who was responsible for the event.

Convicting Trump requires 67 Senate votes, including at least 17 Republican votes and the trial is set to last the weekend and may conclude at the beginning of next week, according to The Hill.

Videos and photos posted on Twitter on Jan. 24 showed banners that appeared to insult the former president were also reportedly flown close to the club. The banners were flown on Trump’s first weekend with private citizen status following departure from office, according to a second Hill report.
