The U.S Senate on Wednesday found President Trump not guilty, acquitted him on two articles of impeachment (abuse of power and obstruction of Congress), thereby ending a four-month impeachment process. Senator Mitt Romney (a Utah Republican) found President Trump guilty of abuse of power. He was the first senator in U.S history to vote to remove from office a president from the same party. Senator Mitt Romney joined all Democrats Senators in a 52-48 not guilty vote. President Trump’s impeachment began last year September when the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry following an anonymous whistleblower complaint alleging President Trump sought election help from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by pressuring Ukraine to announce investigations into the President’s political rivals. Also a $400 million of U.S security aid to Ukraine and a White House meeting with Ukrainian President were withheld.
