Impeachment

Missouri Republicans Roy Blunt and Josh Hawley voted to acquit while Illinois Democrats Richard Durbin and Tammy Duckworth voted to convict.

The former president is being tried on one article of impeachment saying he incited the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Videos shown during the proceedings may contain profanity and violence.

Most Missouri and Illinois lawmakers in the U.S. House split along partisan lines on whether to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection last Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol.

Just one week before he will leave office, Trump has now become the first U.S. president to be impeached twice.

The article of impeachment accuses President Trump of "incitement of insurrection" for his comments and actions leading up to last week's riot at the Capitol. Watch the proceedings live at 9 a.m. ET.

Democrats and some Republicans have called for President Trump's removal from office over his role in inciting a violent mob that breached the U.S. Capitol last week.

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush is also preparing for the potential impeachment of President Donald Trump for inciting last Wednesday's insurrection.

“It would be up to him but my view would be what the president should do is now finish the last 10 days of his presidency,” Blunt said.

Senators voted as expected to clear President Trump on both articles of impeachment filed by the House. Now Washington must try to pick up the pieces.

The Senate found President Trump not guilty on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah voted to convict Trump on only the first article of impeachment.
