Sky News host Rita Panahi says “after five long months, the impeachment farce is over, dead and buried… and Trump’s odds for reelection have never been better". US President Donald Trump was this week cleared in his impeachment trial; acquitted of abuse of power and obstruction of justice.
Ms Panahi said “the Democrats have managed to not only significantly strengthen the president’s re-election chance but have also fatally wounded their former frontrunner and arguably best chance of beating Trump, Joe Biden”. “Maybe now the Democrats and their media cheerleaders will learn that conspiracy theories, partisan plots and wishful thinking are no substitute for evidence no matter how desperately you want them to be," she said.
