The US Senate acquitted Trump of incitement to revolt
The Senate acquitted former US President Donald Trump of inciting the revolt, after the support of many Republicans.
57 members of the Senate, including 7 Republicans, voted in favor of his conviction, 10 fewer than the required 67 vote.
Trump entered history as the first American president to be tried twice in Congress, and he will also enter history as the first president to be tried while out of power, however, and this is more important, he will also go into history as the first president to survive two trials and be acquitted.
During the trial, Democratic lawmakers who play the role of prosecutor in Trump's trial for inciting the storming of the Capitol showed a video clip showing members of the pro-Trump crowd searching the building for his deputy.
Unprecedented videos showed the scene from inside the Capitol, where rioters smashed windows and clashed with police on January 6, 30 meters from the room where Pence was sheltering with his family.
The footage also showed scenes of attacks on Capitol Police, and the evacuation of Pence and lawmakers to a safe place moments before the crowd stormed the building, killing five people, including a police officer.
The House of Representatives accused Trump of fomenting the revolt by urging thousands of supporters to march toward the Capitol on the day Congress gathered to endorse Democrat Joe Biden's election victory.
