House impeaches President Trump
WASHINGTON, Jan 14: Donald Trump became the first president in US history to be impeached twice when 10 of his fellow Republican Congressmen joined Democrats in the House of Representatives to charge him with inciting an unprecedented insurrection at the US Capitol last week. The Democratic-controlled House on Wednesday impeached Trump by 232 to 197 votes. Trump will now face a trial in the Senate, where if convicted he could face being barred from ever holding office again.

No chief guest on Republic Day
