The U.S. Senate has made its judgment in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, acquitting the president.

All 47 Democratic senators voted to convict the president on both charges. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah was the only Republican voting to convict for abuse of power. The Republican senators’ speedy exoneration of Trump marks perhaps the most dramatic step in their capitulation to the president over the past three years.....

Barr’s two strangest defenses of Trump haven’t gotten enough attention - The Washington Post

But two of Barr’s strangest claims in this debate have gotten short shrift. On some of the weightiest questions about obstruction of justice, Barr has made pro-Trump arguments that are at odds with what Robert S. Mueller III wrote in his report...

No conspiracy or coordination. But lots of Trump-Russia ties and lies - The Washington Post

For nearly two years, President Trump and his partisans vilified special counsel Robert S. Mueller III as the leader of “13 angry Democrats” engaged in a “witch hunt” against the president. It shows how wrong they were that, after a summary of Mueller’s report was sent by Attorney General William P. Barr to Congress, Trump was able to proclaim: “No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION.”...
