Trump will fly to Palm Beach, Florida, to start his life post-presidency. Besides being the first US president to be impeached twice, he will also be the first president to not attend his successor's inauguration.

He also refused to concede defeat in the elections, again the first president to do so.

In other news, a British politician, Nigel Farage, has warned that an organised far-right party may emerge as a result of the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

Farage in a video posted on Twitter said any move by the Democrats to remove Trump before he leaves office would be a mistake that will stoke further tensions in America.

Farage, who is a friend of Trump, said the impeachment process in itself would enrage the president’s tens of millions of voters.
