Donald Trump s acquittal at his second impeachment trial may not be the final word on whether he s to blame for the deadly Capitol riot. The next step for the former president could be- the courts. Now a private citizen, Trump is stripped of his protection from legal liability that the presidency gave him.
That change in status is something that even Republicans who voted on Saturday to acquit of inciting the January 6 attack are stressing as they urge Americans to move on from impeachment.
