According to reports reaching Oyogist.com, former president of the United States, Donald Trump has been acquitted by the US Senate on Saturday following his impeachment trial over the US Capitol attack.
Trump’s second trial saw major support from House managers who unexpectedly moved to call witnesses to throw more light on the former president’s state of mind during the hours-long Capitol siege.
After several hours of witness hearing, the house managers struck a deal with Trump’s lawyers to add Herrera Beutler’s statement into the record, thereby halting any witness hearing.
Final vote was about 57-43 as Senate failed to achieve two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump.
