WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES.-Hillary Clinton, a former presidential candidate who lost the election in 2016 against Trump, posted a harsh message after the tycoon absolution in the United States Senate.
“When the president’s political trial began, the Republican senators promised to swear to defend the Constitution. Today, 52 of them voted to betray that oath, and all of us. We are entering dangerous territory for our democracy. It will take all of us working together to restore it, ”was the message he wrote on Twitter.
Absolution
Donald Trump was acquitted on Wednesday in the Senate of the two charges of political trial: abuse of authority and obstruction of Congress, ending just the third such process in the history of the United States, which divided the country, tested civic norms and fueled the tumultuous contest from 2020 to the White House.
Most senators expressed feeling uncomfortable with Trump’s campaign of pressure on Ukraine that resulted in both charges of political trial. But the final counts – 52-48 in favor of acquittal for abuse of authority and 53-47 in the accusation for obstructing Congress’ investigation – were far from reflecting it.
