The US Senate has voted to acquit former US president Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6.
House Democrats, who voted a month ago to charge Trump with “incitement of insurrection,” needed two thirds of the Senate, or 67 votes, to convict him.
But seven Republicans voted with all 50 Democrats to convict, the most bipartisan support for conviction in any of the four impeachments in US history.
The verdict will bring an abrupt end to the fourth presidential impeachment trial in American history, and the only one in which the accused had left office before being tried. The jury, composed of senators who witnessed the violence whether to convict a former president accused of seeking to violently thwart firsthand, were voting on a question with no precedent in American history: lawmakers and his own vice president.
