Former president Donald Trump has survived the second impeachment against him, making him the only American president to face such in the history.
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Saturday that the Senate’s acquittal of former President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection was a reminder that democracy was fragile, and every American had a duty to defend the truth
Donald Trump called the historic second impeachment case against him “yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country,” while promising Saturday that he would not leave the political field.
Trump’s acquittal was never in serious doubt, although seven Republicans joined Democrats in voting to convict him for his role in urging on the deadly Jan. 6 mob attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump did not mention the riot or his speech that preceded it and criticized Democrats for a list of things that roughly matched what Trump himself had been accused of doing.
“It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree,” Trump said in a statement issued by his office.
