"Do you recall a trial in the Senate for Bill Clinton? No you don’t. There’s the truth of it right there."

"Clinton became only the second American president to be impeached (the other being Andrew Johnson who was impeached in 1868)[a] on December 19, 1998, when the House formally adopted the articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication. The trial in the Senate began in January 1999, with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. On February 12, Clinton was acquitted of the charges against him, when the Senate failed to convict him on either of them by the necessary two-thirds majority vote.[b]"

Thank you for the mention of that accurate information.

I was challenged and found I was wrong on two counts.

Lott had replaced Dola, and there was a trial.
