Donald Trump acquitted during his second trial in dismissal

United States-Ex-president Donald Trump was tried this Saturday, February 13, not guilty of having "encouraged" the deadly insurrection of the Capitol, after a historic trial in the Senate, marked by the dissemination of shock images.

Thanks to the support that is still strong among the Republicans, the billionaire escaped the conviction, but in a notable rupture, seven senators of his party voted in favor of his conviction.

Just after this verdict, the ex-president praised the end of a "witch hunt", promising to "continue" to defend "the greatness of America".If he caressed the idea of representing himself in 2024, his political future is still very vague.

For Donald Trump, this is a second acquittal in as many dismissal procedures.A unique case in the history of the United States.

"Donald Trump is by this acquitted," said Democratic senator Patrick Leahy, who chaired the trial, announcing the result of the final vote: 57 votes in favor of his conviction, and 43 against.The 50 Democrats needed 17 republican votes to condemn him because of a two-third rule.
