    A federal judge already ruled he was guilty of a insurrection.

    In the riot’s aftermath, the US House of Representatives impeached the then-president on a charge of “incitement of insurrection”.

    Had the US Senate voted to convict him, it would have had the option to take a second, simple-majority vote to bar him from ever serving in office again.

    But that never happened: the Senate failed to reach the two-thirds majority required to convict Mr Trump, so there was no second vote.
