The Democratic-led House impeached the president on Dec. 18 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The House said Trump abused his power by withholding nearly $400 million in congressionally appropriated military aid to Ukraine last summer while demanding that country announce investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. They also accused him of obstructing Congress's investigation into the matter.
Before the final vote, senators laid out their positions on Trump's impeachment, mostly hewing to partisan positions. Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Wednesday broke with his party and said he would vote to convict the president on the abuse of power charge.
