The Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump Saturday of charges that he incited an insurrection on January 6.
The Senate voted 57-43, meaning that the chamber failed to clear the 67-vote threshold necessary to convict Trump of the charge that he incited an insurrection on January 6, when Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election.
Seven Senate Republicans voted to convict Trump of inciting an insurrection, including Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Richard Burr (R-NC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Ben Sasse (R-NE).
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the Senate floor after the vote that Trump’s actions before and on January 6 were a “disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty.” However, McConnell did vote to acquit the president.
“Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty,” Cassidy said in a statement Saturday after the vote.
Burr, who is retiring in 2022, said in a statement after the vote that he believes Trump “is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a coequal branch of government and that the charge rises to the level of high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
In contrast, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who voted to acquit Trump, said:
The House Impeachment Managers launched an unconstitutional show trial to humiliate the former President and his supporters. The Impeachment Managers have accomplished nothing but to extend the pain of the American people. They achieved one thing – Donald J. Trump’s acquittal.
“With this trial, I fear Democrats have sent a dangerous precedent that enables any former President to be subjected to this spectacle, all in the name of political theater. The people of Wyoming deserve better,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) said after voting to acquit Trump. . . .
The Senate impeachment trial took a dramatic turn Saturday morning as the Senate voted to have additional witnesses testify. Five Senate Republicans, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) voted yes. . . .
Trump defense attorney Michael van der Veen said that if Democrats want more witnesses, he needs to depose House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) – not by Zoom but in Philadelphia – and Vice President Kamala Harris. Van der Veen said he would need up to 100 depositions.

Jesus said “let your yes be yes and your no be no” what are you talking about? Verbal dagger in the dark accomplishes nothing.
Thank you Lord for this victory. It was a much needed shot of encouragement for those that were praying for a victory. It has to uplifting to President Trump and his family – knowing full well that he had done nothing wrong. We are so grateful for all of them.
I pray that those in and outside our government who lied, deceived and continued to use taxpayer money to further their hatred…we pray for their souls and that they would be convicted non-stop by your holy spirit. We pray that in the coming days and months that they would realize that they will be accountable to you Lord for all their actions and for every word they speak. Amen.
Lord, I pray You will continue to bring what hides in the dark out into the light, so our nation can repent and be healed. Help each politician and each of us to search our hearts for hidden sins. Reveal to each of us and lead us to repentance. Thank you for protecting President Trump from this hateful agenda. Help us to face the evil in our nation and to do our part to expose it. Amen
Dear Heavenly Father thank you and praised be Your name. This was a much needed win for the good guys. Lord though President Trump is in some ways rough around the edges and far from perfect, his policies were much more aligned with Your word than the false usurpers we must now suffer under. Bless President Trump, his family, and those who support him. May the efforts to undo his good works be confounded and thwarted. Deliver this nation from the evil that now grips it, and protect the brave men and women who continue to fight against it. Let truth and justice prevail. In Jesus precious name I pray O’ Lord, Amen.
Whether you agree or disagree with this outcome, your comment is wrong. It really has no place here or anywhere for that matter…Jesus Christ should not be used as a prop.
You are right. There should be no such comment.
This is liberal cancel culture at work. Sad to see on what I thought was a website that supports the 1st amendment.
