President Trump acquitted in impeachment trial- BBC News

The US Senate has found President Trump not guilty of abuse of power and the obstruction of congress in his historic impeachment trial. Donald Trump had been charged with high crimes and misdemeanours by the members of the House of Representatives but, as expected, the Republican majority in the Senate cleared him, which means he'll fight for re-election in November.

Tonight's BBC News at Ten is presented by Sophie Raworth and hears from the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel.

In common law jurisdictions, an acquittal certifies that the accused is free from the charge of an offence, as far as the criminal law is concerned
