WASHINGTON, DC All but one of the U.S. representatives from Alabama voted against impeaching President Donald Trump on a charge that he incited the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week. The House voted 232-197 in favor, making Trump the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice.
The historic House vote took place a week after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in a siege that resulted in five deaths including the beating death of a Capitol Police officer, multiple arrests and a sprawling FBI investigation. The impeachment comes a week before President-elect Joe Biden is to be inaugurated in a city on high alert amid ongoing threats of violence.
