Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said the Trump impeachment trial showed that “election interference is the issue of our day,” and that it had wounded American democracy “by sowing doubt into free and fair elections.” She said that Americans are living in an era of “disinformation on steroids,” and that the Russians are especially invested in dissuading Americans from voting, and dividing them politically. “Protecting our elections should be a bipartisan effort,” said Cantwell. House managers and the president’s legal team each delivered their closing arguments in the impeachment trial on Feb. 3 before senators began to weigh in with debate on whether to remove Trump from office. In December, the House of Representatives charged him with two articles of impeachment -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the Senate on Friday voted to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured.
