Former US president Donald Trump has been acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial on the charge of incitement of insurrection .
Trump did not take the stand during the five-day hearing, but released a statement after the verdict labelling the proceeding the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country .
Trump's acquittal generates a host of questions around what happens next: Will he face future federal, state or local charges? What about a censure vote? And will he ultimately be free to run again in 2024?
