US Senate Acquits Ex-President Donald Trump In 2nd Impeachment Trial

The US Senate voting 57 to 43 fell short of 10 votes to convict former US President Donald Trump for the Capitol riots. Interestingly, seven Republicans voted for Trump's conviction and Mitch McConnell, a senior Republican in the Congress, called out Trump for the violence terming it "disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty.” Charged for incitement to insurrection over the Capitol’s riots on January 6, Trump became the first US President to face impeachment twice.
