The Senate’s top Democrats on Saturday called the acquittal of former President Donald Trump a “vote of infamy,” alleging Trump incited the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, while the body’s top Republican voted to acquit the former commander-in-chief.

“January 6 will live as a day of infamy in the history of the United States of America. The failure to convict Donald Trump will live as a vote of infamy in the history of the United States Senate,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on the Senate floor in Washington.
