Former US President Donald Trump on Saturday welcomed his acquittal in the US Senate on an impeachment charge and said his political movement “has only just begun.”
“Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun,” Trump said in a statement issued just moments after the Senate vote.
“In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people,” he said.
“We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future,” Trump said.
A two-thirds majority was needed in the 100-member Senate to convict Trump of the charge of inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters but only 57 senators voted “guilty.”
Seven Republicans joined Democrats in the Senate in voting to convict the former president.
Trump denounced his second impeachment trial as “yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country.”
“No president has ever gone through anything like it,” Trump said.

<h2><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/21/liverpool-real-madrid-fc-bayern-are-working-on-appointing-xabi-alonso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso</a> has reportedly informed Premier League club, Liverpool, and German Bundesliga club, Bayern Munich, that he is not planning to leave his current club ahead of next season.</h2>
<p>Xabi Alonso is currently enjoying an unprecedented run at Bayer Leverkusen where he is currently topping the German Bundesliga table with 10 points above second-placed Bayern Munich.</p>
<p>The Spanish tactician is the only manager in the top four leagues in Europe that has not suffered a defeat this season.</p>
<p>Hence, he is wanted by his two former clubs, Bayern Munich and Liverpool who are expected to lose their current coaches, Thomas Tuchel, and Jurgen Klopp, respectively, at the end of this season.</p>
<p>Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has claimed that Liverpool have bowed out of the race to appoint Xabi Alonso since Thursday, March 28, and Bayern Munich are expected to bow out today, March 29.</p>
<p>The transfer expert also said Alonso is expected to remain the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen until 2025 and there will be a release clause which will permit him to join another club at the end of next season.</p>
<p><em>"Liverpool, Bayern, and Real Madrid will keep following the development of Xabi Alonso in the future months",</em> the transfer expert added.</p>
<p>Also, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness had said it is almost impossible for Xabi Alonso to leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of this season because the Spanish tactician would want to achieve more feats at the club.</p>
<p><em>“Alonso is more inclined to stay at Bayer Leverkusen given their current successes because he would not want to leave them behind",</em> he said as quoted by Daily Mail.</p>
<p><em>“Let’s say if he had two or three more years of success, it would probably be easier to get him out of there.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I personally, and we all, extremely appreciate Xabi Alonso, but you mustn’t forget that he is now training at a club that is currently in the process of becoming German champions.”</em></p>
