Herrera Beutler was one of 10 House Republicans who voted last month to impeach Trump, making him the only president in US history to be impeached twice. Closing arguments kicked off after the decision about the 55-45 vote in favor of witnesses, which had unsettled members of the Senate. Trump, who left office on Jan 20, is the first former US president to face trial after leaving office. Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell will vote to acquit Trump, a source familiar with the situation said on Saturday. Security-camera footage shown at the trial showed rioters came perilously close to lawmakers and Pence as they were evacuated from the Senate and House chambers.
