The US House of Representatives on Wednesday impeached President Donald Trump over his role in inciting violence at the Capitol last week.
A resolution charging Trump with "incitement of insurrection" was passed with a 232 to 197 vote. 10 Republican Representatives voted against Trump, who thus became the first president in US history to be impeached twice. He was impeached by the House in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
