Donald Trump the 45th president of United States of America was facing impeachment on December 18, 2019, when the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment.
President Donald Trump has been cleared in his impeachment trial, ending a congressional bid to oust him from office that bitterly divided the US.
The Senate, run by the president’s fellow Republicans, voted to acquit him 52-48 on charges of abuse of power and 53-47 on obstruction of Congress.
Democrats charged Mr Trump in December with pressuring Ukraine to smear a potential White House rival, Joe Biden.
In its historic vote on Wednesday, the Senate decided not to remove America’s 45th president from office on charges arising from his dealings with Ukraine.
Mr Trump being the 3 president going for election after impeachment by the Congress seeking a second four-year term in the 3 November always denied wrongdoing.
The two others, Bill Clinton in 1999 and Andrew Johnson in 1868, were left in power by the Senate and did not seek re-election while president Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.
His re-election campaign team said in a statement: “President Trump has been totally vindicated and it’s now time to get back to the business of the American people.
Now it’s up to Americans during election to decide whether Donald Trump is a despot or will he continue leading the country.
