The Senate voted to acquit former President Trump
of inciting the January 6 riot at the Capitol
in his second impeachment trial.
Seven Republicans joined all Democrats in voting "Guilty"
for a majority of 57 votes
– but Democrats failed to get the two-thirds majority
needed to convict.
The Republicans who joined with the Democrats were:
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.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted to acquit
he felt it was unconstitutional to convict a former office holder.
Mr. Trump issued a statement Saturday afternoon
thanking his legal team, as well as
the Republicans in the Senate who found him not guilty
and GOP House members
who voted against the article of impeachment last month.
"...This has been yet another phase
of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country.
No president has ever gone through anything like it
and it continues
because our opponents cannot forget
the almost 75 million people
the highest number ever for a sitting president
who voted for us just a few short months ago...." said Trump
The outcome had long seemed inevitable
.
