BREAKING: Trump impeached for the second time

United States President, Donald Trump, has become the first American president to be impeached twice.

A bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to charge him with inciting last week’s attack on the US Capitol.

One week before Trump is to leave office, a total of 232 lawmakers, including 10 Republicans who broke with the president, voted to impeach the defiant Republican leader for high crimes and misdemeanors on a single charge of “incitement of insurrection.”

Democrats mobilised rapidly to begin the process to have Trump removed after he encouraged his supporters last Wednesday to “march” to the US Capitol and “fight”.
