Trump acquitted in second impeachment trial on charge of inciting Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Former President Trump was acquitted in an unprecedented second impeachment trial on the charge of inciting an insurrection for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, making him the first and only president to be impeached and acquitted twice in history.

A majority of senators found Trump guilty on Saturday in a 57-43 vote, but the number fell short of the supermajority needed to convict the president. Had Trump been convicted, the Senate would have moved to bar the 45th president from holding federal office ever again.

The seven GOP senators who joined with all Democrats in finding Trump guilty were: Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who presided over the trial announced the vote fell short of the two-thirds majority need and therefore Trump is “hereby acquitted of the charge.”

The acquittal means that as of now Trump can leave the door open to another White House bid in 2024, though senators have hinted they may still try to bar him from office in a separate 14th Amendment measure.

Trump praised the victory, thanked his supporters and promised he’d soon emerge with a “vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future.”

  1. DEVIL on TV thanking all her Demons , for the FAKE Impeachment !!!!

    Now it’s time to Impeach all of THEM !!!!!! LOL LOL

  2. From what I have read and interpreted of the 14th Amendment he cannot be tried / barred from public office, since he was acquitted and not found guilty. They would again violate the wording / cause of the 14th Amendment, to bring charges , since he was not found guilty. It would be double jeopardy.

  3. The highest and longest sustained witch-hunt in the history of our amazing Republic. Long live our constitution and the rule of law. God bless America! While I’m at it, shame on M McC for his remarks about baseless claims. Support the desire of voters to investigate and get to the truth before you claim “false” or “substantiated.”

  4. Considering what PedoSlowJoe and his BJCameltoeHo have been up to in the first month, Trump will win a landslide in ’24 – except for the cheaters!
