Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said the Senate had failed to hold a Constitutionally fair trial by not calling witnesses and not considering documentary evidence when weighing whether to acquit and remove President Donald Trump from office. “The tragedy here...if the president is acquitted, it will always be a question as to whether this legitimate trial here in the U.S. Senate,” said Cardin.
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.
