By 52-48 Vote, Senate acquits President Trump

WASHINGTON (Diya TV)  — Along party lines as expected, President Trump was acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate 52 to 48 on the two articles of impeachment brought forth by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. An intriguing footnote to this partisan battle is that former Republican Presidential nominee and current Utah Senator Mitt Romney was the only member of the GOP to vote to convict Trump, the first Senator in American history ever to vote to remove a President in his own party.
