Senate acquits Trump in his second impeachment trial, a coda to a tumultuous presidency

A majority of the Senate, including seven Republicans, voted to convict Trump of inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, but 67 votes were required for a conviction.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.,Ky.), lower center-right, and other Republican senators and staff talk on the Senate floor after a vote Saturday on whether to allow witnesses in the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. The Senate ultimately acquitted Trump on Saturday, a coda, at least for now, to his tumultuous four years in office.
