The resolution charges President Trump with "incitement of insurrection." Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he will not reconvene the Senate early for a trial to remove Trump from office.

Just one week before he will leave office, Trump has now become the first U.S. president to be impeached twice.

The Senate found President Trump not guilty of the impeachment charges against him. "We went through hell, unfairly," he said in a statement at the White House.

The Trump impeachment trial is adjourned, but lawmakers have time to make their own cases for and against removing the president. A final vote is expected on Wednesday afternoon.

The State of the Union gets massive television ratings. This year, President Trump will deliver it a day before senators vote on whether to remove him from office.

Both sides made their closing arguments in the president's impeachment trial in the Senate. On Wednesday, the Senate is widely expected to acquit the president.

NPR is hosting live special coverage of the trial. On Friday, senators begin submitting questions for the defense and prosecution.

Democrats had hoped to introduce witnesses but failed to get enough Republican support. The trial now moves to a final phase, which includes a vote on whether to acquit or convict the president.
