Trump was impeached after an investigation that lasted for some time by the lawmakers, whose speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said the president gave them no other option than to approve the action against him.
He was accused of putting pressure on Ukraine to excavate some damaging information about Joe Biden, a Democrat challenging him in the 2020 presidential election, as well as the latter’s son, Hunter.
The president was said to have threatened to withhold a $400 million military aid to Ukraine as a way to get the country to do his bidding. The lawmakers described this as abuse of power.
He was further accused of refusing to cooperate with the investigation by Congress.
His second impeachment was because, according to the House, he made inciting statement that led to the attack on the Capitol Hill last week.
