    At least 10 Republicans voted against their party and Donald Trump, with the final result being 232 votes to impeach, assuring he becomes the first US president to be impeached twice.

    Four Congressmen did not vote. All four Indian-American House members - Ami Bera, Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Pramila Jayapal - voted in favour of the impeachment.

    In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made clear that President Trump's impeachment trial won't start until after January 19.

    The Senate will not hold a trial before January 20, when Democrat Joe Biden assumes the presidency, meaning Trump will escape the risk of being forced to leave early. He will, however, depart in disgrace and likely due to face a Senate trial later.

    The article of impeachment charges Trump with a count of "incitement of insurrection" for his actions on January 6, when he delivered a speech inciting his supporters to lay siege to the Capitol, an action that temporarily halted the counting of Electoral College votes and resulted in the deaths of five individuals, including an officer of the US Capitol Police.
