Trump Becomes Only President To Be Impeached Twice

January 13, 2021 4:05 am

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump has been impeached for a second time. He faces a single charge, “incitement of insurrection,” after telling a mob of loyalists to, as he put it, “fight like hell” against election results. The subsequent attack on the U.S. Capitol turned deadly and delayed finalizing Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory. While the first impeachment of Trump in 2019 brought no Republican votes in the House, a small but significant number of lawmakers broke with the GOP on Wednesday to join Democrats.  Ten Republicans voted in favor of the impeachment.  The vote was 232-197 in favor of the impeachment.  Trump said Tuesday that the impeachment effort itself is causing “tremendous anger” in the country.  (Photo:  AP)
