Senate dismisses Mayorkas impeachment charges without trial

The Senate has dismissed all impeachment charges against President Biden’s Homeland Security secretary. The Republican-led House impeached Alejandro Mayorkas, charging him with refusing to comply with immigration law and for “breach of trust” for saying the border was secure. But Democrats who control the Senate argued that the articles were unconstitutional and ended the impeachment process without a trial. The top GOP senator said “history will not judge this moment well,” while the White House said the Senate rightly voted down, what it called, “this baseless impeachment.”
