(TKG) − Late on Wednesday evening, February 5, the U.S. Senate cleared Donald Trump of both charges in its impeachment trial of the president, giving the impeachment trial an end.
The Senate, run by the president’s fellow Republicans, voted to acquit him 52-48 on charges of abuse of power and 53-47 on obstruction of Congress.
Mr. Trump was charged of abuse of power in December 2019 with pressuring Ukraine to smear a potential White House rival. He was also accused of obstructing Congress for refusing to participate in the impeachment inquiry.
Finally, on Wednesday February 5, the U.S. Senate acquitted him of both charges and decided not to remove America’s 45th president from office.
U.S. President Donald Trump was the third president in the history of the United States to have been impeached, but the U.S. Senate came up with the result of keeping him in office.
