President Joe Biden late Saturday said despite former President Donald Trump being acquitted by the Senate “the substance of the charge is not in dispute,” noting that seven Republicans joined all Democrats in finding the former president guilty.
Former President Donald Trump thanked Republican lawmakers Saturday in a statement after the Senate voted to acquit him in his second impeachment trial, saying they “stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ahead of the possible final day of the Senate impeachment trial on Saturday said he will vote to acquit former President Donald Trump, according to an email announcement informing Republican Senators of his decision.
