Senate Democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's acquittal by the Senate was "virtually valueless" since Republicans refused witnesses at his impeachment trial. "Now that Republicans have rejected a fair trial, truth is a giant asterisk next to the president's acquittal," Schumer told reporters. "The asterisk says he was acquitted without facts. He was acquitted without a fair trial. And it means his acquittal is virtually valueless," the senator from New York said. "The White House may be cheering this as a win," Schumer said, but "history will view this as a Pyrrhic victory for Senate Republicans, for the Republican Party and for President Trump." The Republican-majority Senate voted 52-48 on Wednesday to acquit Trump of the charge of abuse of power and 53-47 to acquit him of the charge of obstruction of Congress. cl/ec
