Senate acquits Trump in second impeachment trial

The Senate votes 57-43 to convict Donald Trump on the article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for conviction. Seven Republicans join all Democrats in voting to convict. This is the second time Trump has been acquitted in an impeachment trial. The trial focused on his role in the January 6 attack and his speech urging supporters to march to the Capitol.
