Missouri senators voted against Trump impeachment

Missouri’s Republican Senators Roy Blunt and Josh Hawley were among those that voted to acquit former President Trump on Saturday. Blunt said (quote) “Impeachment is not a tool that should be used to settle political scores against a private citizen” (unquote). Hawley also said he thought the trial was unconstitutional. Seven Republicans did vote to convict, but the Democratic-led prosecution needed a two-thirds majority to succeed.
