US President Donald Trump has been acquitted of abusing his power and obstructing Congress.
The Senate impeachment trial ended with senators voting 52-48 and 53-47 to acquit Mr Trump on the respective charges, far short of the two-thirds of "guilty" votes that would have been required to remove him from office.
Mr Trump briefly responded on Twitter ahead of what he said would be a public statement tomorrow at 4:00am (AEDT).
The charges related to allegations Mr Trump had pressured Ukraine to investigate claims of corruption against his political rival and current Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden in exchange for military aid.
Only one senator broke ranks with their party, with Republican Mitt Romney voting to convict Mr Trump on the charge of abuse of power (but voting to acquit him of obstruction).
The senator announced that he would be voting against his party just hours before the close of the impeachment trial.
He called the President's actions in pressuring Ukraine to investigate Mr Biden "grievously wrong" and said Mr Trump was "guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust".
The two articles of impeachment were approved by the Democratic-led House of Representatives on December 18.
What was only the third presidential trial in United States history proved incredibly divisive, with Mr Trump calling it an attempted coup and Democrats calling it a sham and a cover-up.
The stripped-down trial in the Republican-controlled Senate involved no witnesses or new evidence.
The animosity between Mr Trump and Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives who led the impeachment effort, was on full display at yesterday's State of the Union.
Mr Trump snubbed her handshake attempt, while Ms Pelosi ripped up a copy of his speech immediately after it ended.
