Overview of Donald Trump’s Impeachment Proceedings
The article details the two impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump. The first, initiated by the House of Representatives in 2019, accused him of abusing power by pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate political rival Joe Biden. Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate acquitted him in 2020. The second impeachment followed the January 6 Capitol insurrection, where Trump, no longer in office, was again acquitted, but a conviction could have barred him from holding future political office.
