Trump acquitted of inciting Capitol attack in second impeachment trial

The US senate has acquitted former president Donald Trump of inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The vote gave Mr Trump a historic second acquittal in an impeachment trial. House Democrats, who voted a month ago to charge Mr Trump with “incitement of insurrection”, needed two thirds of the senate, or 67 votes, to convict him.
