President Trump’s impeachment trial came to a predictable ending Wednesday afternoon when he was acquitted on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The trial centered around allegations that Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine and promised to organize a White House meeting in order to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
