Senate Declares Trump Innocent
- The U.S. Senate has rejected in impeachment that the former U.S. president be the organizer of the Capitol attack (United States). To punish Trump, 67 votes were required, but only 57 senators, including seven from the Republican Party (PSE), voted.
USA, Donald Trump, whose second impeachment started on Saturday against former US President Donald Trump has been acquitted as last year by the Senate. To be approved, the votes in favour are two-thirds of the senators, 67 percent of the votes. To reach that number, seventeen Republican senators had to face Trump, who has been defeated by the Republican Party. There was a curiosity that this would happen, but in the end it was only seven who were against the leader of their party. A total of 57 senators voted in favour of the approval of the impeachment, while 43 voted against.
During the trial, the indictment has argued that Trump’s preparation of the Capitol assault started five or six months earlier, and that it was prepared. The defence, for its part, has framed the activity of the former president in the exercise of freedom of expression.
Last minute testimony
At the last session of the trial, all Democratic Senators and the five Republicans have asked for an unexpected testimony: Jaime Herrera Beutler. Herrera Beutler has stated that the leader of the U.S. Republican Congress, Kevin McCarthy and Trump, held a phone conversation during the attack. According to this testimony, Trump refused to ask the assailants to withdraw, which led to the DUCHESS. “They seem to be more angry than you at the elections,” Trump told MvCarthy. Herrera Beutler said it was McCarthy himself who informed him of this conversation with Trump about his possible involvement in the conflict. In any case, that testimony has not been enough for Trump to declare himself innocent.
