(CNN) – This Wednesday, the Senate voted to acquit President Trump for Two charges of political trial.
On the article of abuse of power, the Senate declared the president innocent by a vote of 52-48, and Republican Senator Mitt Romney broke ranks by joining the Democrats who voted him guilty. On the charge of obstruction of Congress, the Senate declared him innocent by a vote of 53-47.
Regardless of today’s vote, Trump will remain forever a president undergoing political judgment. Similarly, former President Bill Clinton was charged by the House but acquitted in his Senate trial. Trump has joined Clinton and President Andrew Johnson as the only three presidents in the history of the United States that have been accused.
Today’s acquittal ends almost five months of the investigation and trial political that arose from the denunciation of an informant by Trump’s comments to President of Ukraine during the summer.
But there could be more investigations to come: Democrats have promised to continue investigating Trump and his administration, and that includes some unanswered questions that arose during this political trial investigation.
A key development to consider is whether the House commissions controlled by the Democrats will quote the former national security advisor John Bolton.
Bolton, who never testified during the House of Representatives investigation, said last month he would be willing to testify at the Senate trial if they cited him. The Senate rejected the call of witnesses at the trial, but the House said it will continue its investigations and kept the door open to call Bolton to testify.
