Former president Donald Trump has been acquitted by the Senate after a weeklong impeachment trial.

Only five Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to convict Mr Trump after a final vote tally of 55-45 and the two thirds majority required to impeach Mr Trump was not reached.

The seven GOP senators who joined with all Democrats in finding Trump guilty were Richard Burr from North Carolina, Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, Susan Collins from Maine, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska. The outcome of the trial means Mr Trump can run for president in 2024 as a candidate.

Great 👍. There is at least some equality in the US then

Trump 2024 🇺🇸👏

This solicitor needs to be the next president

Perfect. Now the republicans know who are the rotten tomatoes are and will be able to get rid of them when President Donald Trump takes back the 2021 presidency after the fraud and lawlessness of the left has come to light.

Great News

A super majority voted to convict; the most bipartisan vote in an impeachment trial so far. There was no question as to if he is guilty! The Republicans senators were hiding behind a interpretation of the constitution that not even Republican scholars will stand behind.

He won’t run, he’s burnt as a Politician and a Citizen ✅✅

Not surprised but this is really bad. Unless the Dems make some radical changes to convince ppl to keep coming out to vote for them they are done. The GOP is too strong.

Just shows how scared the republicans are on the supporter base

Go trump. Trump for president

'Murica 🦅

Georgia Grand Jury convenes March! this one will be a proper court

As expected ! Its was never a trial of only trump it was also a trial of the republican congress to see whether they would put country before party FAILED The Trump brand is toxic in the USA & NOW the republicans. Overthrowing a peaceful transfer of power is OK by them

Best news ive heard all day

This means he can once again try to Coup!!!

He’s still a former President. Move on.

TRUMPS BACK

So the republicans believe that Trump was guilty however the only time the Senate could lawfully convict Trump was in January when they stopped it from happening?

American is back to the trail of being killed softly and slowly by China again. Demos will help on the project. Make Demos great again.

Democrats all piss & wind

Of course he has....now you watch his party allow him to nominate as a Presidential candidate at the next election...

Common sense wins out 🎉🎉🎉

Good news..!

stage_fright Troll Troll

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliant man. Election stolen. He will win in 2024!!!!

Yes!!!!

Sky News celebrating that ‘dictatorships’ wins over Democracy and proudly brought to you by the REPUBLICANS. You love it when presidents try to sack the republic for a dictatorship. It has your full support.

You forgot to mention how he’s now going to be fried up like old toast.... He’s done

Great news. If he starts his own party it will split the right wing vote. Democrats will be in power for the next 20 years at least.

What a joke the impeachment process ...US style is. Makes a mockery of the US Constitution! A low point for US Democracy!

Best news today, when will the Dems look inward and start their era of unity

Adam Boulton will be upset and itv Robert Moore

Travesty

What does Twitter do now They have banned someone for something they didn't do ReinstateDonaldTrump

as an american I'm proud that Australians can see through this political bs.

Bucket loads of tears for parlour nancy's and fancy obama's

Senate acquits Donald Trump againBREAKING: The Senate has acquitted Donald Trump of incitement of insurrection. The margin was 57-43 in favour of conviction. Remember, it takes 67 guilty votes to convict, which means the prosecution fell well short. Full story: As expected by many, many people. Dear Leader was never going to be convicted by his party [cult members]. They telegraphed their intention before the trail began, just like they did in the previous one.

Donald Trump acquitted of incitement of insurrection in second Senate impeachment trialThe US Senate votes to acquit former president Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, with less than two thirds of senators finding him guilty of incitement of insurrection. Perhaps they need to now get every single person involved with the insurrection to do maximum time (20 yrs?) as they can’t blame Trump any further. Maybe the Rebublicans could go for the record and impeach Joe 3 times. 😜 Poor ABC is devastated.
