The U.S. Senate acquits former President Donald Trump on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection.The acquittal comes more than a month after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers were counting the electoral results that certified Trump's loss. Five people died in the riot, including a police officer. Two other officers later killed themselves. The Senate vote was 57 to 43 in favor of conviction including seven Republicans, but it was short of the two-thirds majority, or 67 votes, required to convict. It was the second time Trump was acquitted in an impeachment trial.
