BREAKING: Senate votes to acquit President Trump in impeachment trial
WASHINGTON—In a vote that was predictable but momentous, President Trump was acquitted by the Senate on the charges contained in two articles of impeachment, related to abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, that had been endorsed by the House of Representatives in December.
Speaking before the 4p.m. vote, Romney rejected the notion that November’s forthcoming election would prove a sufficient referendum on Trump. By casting his vote against Trump, Romney single handedly prevented impeachment from remaining a solely partisan affair. Trump is the first president since Bill Clinton to have been acquitted in an impeachment trial. In brief remarks from the Rose Garden after his 1999 acquittal, Clinton said he was “profoundly sorry” for his words and deeds, though he did not mention his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, or his false statements, given under oath, during the ensuing investigation.
