Donald Trump makes history as the first US president to be impeached twice. The house voted on Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in response to his role in inciting last week’s riot at the US Capitol.
The House voted 232 to 197 exactly one week after the capitol riots. Ten Republicans, including the House’s No. 3 Republican, Liz Cheney of Wyoming, joined all Democrats to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection.”
