Trump impeached for second time
It makes Trump the first president ever to be impeached twice.
The move makes Donald Trump the first US president to be impeached twice. Ten rebel Republicans voted with Democrats after a day of debate in the House of Representatives. He now faces a trial in the Senate, which will take place after he leaves office. He was accused of rousing his followers to storm the Capitol last week, leaving five dead, in a sometimes stormy day of debate. Some Republicans argued impeachment would further divide the nation
Top Democrat Nancy Pelosi had said "He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation"
