Trump acquitted despite new evidence about his failure to protect Pence
CNN
The US Senate voted Saturday to acquit former President Donald Trump on a single article of impeachment charging that he incited the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, showing his power over the Republican Party despite clear concern among members of his party that he stood by and did not send help at a time when his vice president, members of Congress and police were in danger.
Seven Republican senators joined the 50 Democratic senators voting to convict the former President, falling far short of the two-thirds threshold required to convict. Though Democrats did not find the votes they needed, several Republicans who had not shown their hand as they weighed the evidence, including Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Richard Burr of North Carolina, voted guilty. They were joined by GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
