Summary
The House charged that Trump withheld 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.Hours before the trial's final session, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah announced that he would vote to convict Trump on the charge of abuse of power, making him the only Republican in the Senate to publicly side with Democrats calling for Trump's removal from office.But overall, the impeachment proceedings followed a partisan path, with Democrats echoing arguments that lead impeachment managers put forth in favor of removal, and Republican Congress members stressing evidence presented by Trump's legal team.Wednesday's vote comes a day after Trump delivered his final State of the Union address to Congress ahead of the 2020 election.
