BREAKING: Donald Trump Wins Second Impeachment Trial

Donald Trump has been acquitted by the Senate on Saturday in an impeachment trial for his role on the 6 January attack on the US Capitol.
A verdict that underscores the swing America’s 45th president still holds over the Republican party even after leaving White House.

Trump was the first US president to be impeached twice and is now the first president to be acquitted twice
OnyxNews Nigeria understands that if the former President of US was convicted, he could have been barred from holding office in the future.
Trump’s acquittal was never in doubt. Seventeen Republicans would have had to join all Democrats to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Many Republicans argued that the trial was unconstitutional, even though a majority of the Senate voted on Tuesday to proceed with the trial.
The final vote tally was 57-43. Seven Republicans voted to convict: Richard Burr of North Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana joining five who were expected to turn against Trump: Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
The swift conclusion of Trump’s historic second trial was briefly thrown into doubt after House managers unexpectedly moved to call witnesses in an effort to explain the former president’s state of mind during the hours-long Capitol siege.

The Democratic managers were not expected to call witnesses, but changed their minds after a new account by congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the immediate past US president.
