WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is over, with the US Senate voting to acquit the former President.
South Dakota Senators John Thune and Mike Rounds voted for acquittal.
In a statement, Rounds said, ” I am convinced that the Senate does not have jurisdiction to render a judgment against the former president. Our Founding Fathers intended impeachment to remove public officials from office, not to punish private citizens. Therefore, I voted not guilty.”
