UPDATED: Trump impeached again

The House of Representatives in the United States of America (USA) has again impeached President Donald Trump today.

The development brings Mr Trump as the first leader of the country to be impeached twice by the house.

The lawmaking arm made up of mostly democrats secured the endorsement of 10 of their colleagues who are republicans – where Trump belongs to.

The house voted 217 to 192 votes to impeach the president while 24 were absent.

The house will now send the motion straight to the Senate, House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, said.

McCarthy says Trump bears responsibility for the recent siege at the Capitol.
