Former President Donald Trump declared not guilty of the impeachment charge he incited insurrection at the Capitol on January 6.


Seven Republican Senators voting with democrats to convict 57 to 43, the most bipartisan senate impeachment vote in history but far short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict. 


43 Republicans voted not guilty including Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell.  But Mcconnell still offered a blistering indictment of Trump's actions.

"...impeachment was never meant to be the final forum for American justice.  President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office,"

 Mcconnell said.


The former President defiant in a statement calling the trial a "witch hunt" and insisting,

"...our historic, patriotic, and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun."

The vote coming just over a month after rioters invaded the Capitol.  It is the shortest impeachment trial ever.
