US lawmakers and other public figures react to Senate vote finding Donald Trump not guilty of inciting Capitol riot.
Democratic Party legislators and other public figures in the United States have reacted with indignation to the results of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, after the US Senate found Trump not guilty of “inciting” a deadly riot on Capitol Hill last month. In a Saturday afternoon vote that fell largely along party lines, the Senate voted 57-43 against impeaching the former Republican president. The US House of Representatives impeached Trump in January for “incitement of insurrection” in relation to the deadly storming of the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
