Donald Trump Acquitted In Senate Impeachment Vote

The U.S. Senate, Saturday afternoon, voted to acquit former President Donald Trump of one charge of 'incitement of insurrection.'

The vote came more than a month after the deadly riot Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol. The Senate failed to get the two-thirds majority needed for conviction.

The final vote to acquit Trump was 57-43. Trump found himself before the Senate following the deadly unrest last month as he was blamed for inciting followers at a rally before they headed to the capitol where unrest ensued.

Seven Republican Senators crossed party lines and voted to convict. The include:

Susan Collins, of Maine, Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, Ben Sasse, of Nebraska, Mitt Romney, of Utah, Bill Cassidy, of Louisiana, Richard Burr, of North Carolina, and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted to convict.
