(Reuters) - Television viewership for the third presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history rose as President Donald Trump's attorneys began laying out their case for his acquittal by the Senate, according to Nielsen data released on Tuesday.

An estimated 10.1 million people in the United States tuned in across six broadcast and cable networks on Saturday, the day Trump's legal team began arguing he had not committed any impeachable offences in his dealings with Ukraine.
