Wyden slams Trump s acquittal in Senate impeachment trial February 13 2021
Sen. Ron Wyden and the Oregon Democratic Party both deplored the results of the impeachment trial held in the U.S. Senate.
In a near party line vote, former President Donald Trump was acquitted by the U.S. Senate during an unprecedented second impeachment trial after Trump had already left office.
The vote of 57-43 fell 10 ballots short of the two-thirds necessary for conviction on charges that Trump incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol that left several dead in January. Seven Republicans voted to convict, per national media accounts.

Oregon Secretary of State Bev Clarno, a Republican from Redmond, said before the vote that it came amid an “incredibly difficult” year, citing the coronavirus pandemic, catastrophic wildfires and racial injustice.
“All of this on top of the 2020 general election that was rife with misinformation, leading to mistrust in our democracy and division among our citizens,” Clarno said from the podium. She did not name Trump, who critics say has undermined public faith in America’s democracy by claiming, without any basis, that the election was rigged.
