The Trump trial refers to the second impeachment trial of former US President Donald Trump, which took place in February 2021. Trump was impeached by the US House of Representatives for incitement of insurrection related to the January 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol by his supporters. The Senate trial ended with Trump’s acquittal, with 57 senators voting to convict and 43 voting to acquit, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for conviction. The trial was historic in that it marked the first time a US president had been impeached and tried twice. It was also notable for its impact on the ongoing political divisions and tensions within the United States.
