On the obstruction of Congress charge, Romney sided with Republicans and the final vote was 47 senators in favor of conviction and 53 senators against.

At the center of the impeachment inquiry was a July 25 phone call during which Trump repeatedly pressured Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, over the latter's employment on the board of the Ukrainian natural-gas company Burisma Holdings. Wednesday's vote to acquit the president came after a heated trial in which the Republican-controlled Senate refused to subpoena documents or hear new witness testimony. in US history, including those of former Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton.

Bolton also claims that last May, shortly after Zelensky was elected president, Trump asked him Bolton to call Zelensky to ensure he met with Giuliani, who spearheaded Trump's pressure campaign. Bolton says the acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and the White House counsel Pat Cipollone — who also led Trump's defense team in the impeachment trial — both witnessed Trump making that demand. Bolton added that he did not call Zelensky.
