WASHINGTON, D.C. (KYMA, KECY) - The Senate found President Donald Trump not guilty of both articles of impeachment.

Many Republican Senators expressed discomfort with Trump's pressure campaign on Ukraine, but in the end, all but one felt it did not rise to the level of impeachment.

Senator Mitt Romney, (R) Utah, was the only Republican to vote to convict the President on abuse of power charges.

Senator Krysten Sinema, (D) Arizona, remained silent on her position throughout the trial. Shortly before the vote, Sinema announced she would vote to convict on both counts.
