Former President Donald Trump described the impeachment against him as a “witch hunt” and He claimed unfair treatment from his opponents, but celebrated the results and said he will “re-emerge” soon.
“This has been another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country” , said Trump. “No president has been through anything like this, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the nearly 75 million people, the most high for a sitting president, who voted for us a few months ago. ”

The former president, who resides in Florida, managed to avoid conviction in the Senate, where seven Republicans joined the Democrats, but remained 10 votes back to convict the former president of “incitement to insurrection.”
It was the impeachment process that lasted just five days and had its peak on Wednesday, when the managers – or accusers – of the House of Representatives presented New videos showing the invasion of the Capitol after former President Trump’s speech at a rally.
