this is "nightline." tonight, verdict and division. the president acquitted of charges in his impeachment trial. >> not guilty as charged. >> a sharply-split senate. >> it's over, america. >> except for one, lone defector. >> the president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust. >> pivotal political moves ahead of a divided government, a divided nation. plus, diane keaton in the role of her leave time. >> when i look back on randy, i just think, wow, i wish i could have been a better sister. >> reflections of her relationship with her troubled brother. >> he was out of control.

he couldn't manage it at all. >> now finding new ways to rebuild a brother/sister bond. >> i feel like i'm so lucky to have my brother in my life at this point. but first the "nightline" five. number o to deal with the problem.icians but they wouldn't. so we took it to the voters

and forced big tobacco to pay its share of healthcare costs. we fought oil companies for new clean air laws and closed a billion dollar corporate tax loophole to fund public schools. by going directly to the people we got results. that's not something you see a lot of from washington these days. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. let's make change happen. good evening. thank you for joining us. for only the third time in u.s. history, a verdict in the

impeachment trial of a sitting president. the vote to acquit fell strictly along party lines, except for the only senator to ever vote to remove a president of his own party. here's abc's david wright. >> reporter: today in the senate chamber, a historic moment. >> united states senate was made for moments like this. >> reporter: the final vote on donald trump's impeachment. >> i hope we will look back on this vote and say this was the day the fever began to break. >> this president is such a menace that you must ignore, indeed sacrifice the truth to maintain his favor. >> reporter: the world's greatest deliberative body. >> not guilty. >> not guilty. not guilty. >> reporter: took just over half an hour to clear president trump of both charges. final tally on article one that president trump abused his power by pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival, joe biden, 52-48.

>> donald john trump, president of the united states is not guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment. >> reporter: that vote almost along straight party lines, with one exception. >> my faith is at the heart of who i am. >> reporter: mitt romney of utah was the lone republican to defy mitch mcconnell. no senator in history has ever voted to convict a president of his own party. >> corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's oath of office that i can imagine. >> he sounded like a voice from the past. the past of the republican party. he was their standard bearer it's years ago. it's not that party anymore. >> reporter: as romney told fox news' chris wallace, that experience is what gave him courage today. >> the worst thing that ever happened to me politically was losing the presidency in 2012. i've got, i've got broad enough shoulders to be able to weather

personal changes in my, in my career, political or otherwise. but what i don't have is the capacity to ignore my conscience. >> reporter: in article two, the charge that president trump obstructed congress by refusing to cooperate in any way with the impeachment inquiry. >> not guilty. >> it's over, america. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: immediately after the vote, trump, triumphant, retweeted this meme, suggesting he'll be president in perpetuity. >> that tweet was classic trump. and really, it shows his state of mind, that after being impeached and now acquitted, he's just dancing on the, on the heads of those who tried to get him. >> reporter: trump's lawyer called it a victory for the president, the office of the president and the constitution. >> we're very pleased with the result. we're glad this is behind us. th we're glad this is behind the country. >> reporter: but this isn't quite the outcome the white

house had hoped for. because of mitt romney, the vote to convict was bipartisan. >> i feel that moral courage, country before party is a rare commodity these days. >> reporter: red state democrats, like doug jones of alabama, face significant pressure to vote with republicans in order to give the president bragging rights. in the end, none of them broke ranks. >> the president's actions demonstrate a belief that he is above the law. that congress has no power whatsoever, in questioning or examining his actions and that all who do so do so at their peril. >> history, of course, will judge the bigger impact, the biggereaning of what we saw here today. but in the immediate aftermath of this, what does it look like here as the two parties actually try, potentially, to get anything done. >> reporter: impeachment has turned party lines into battle lines. cementing the bond between trump and the republicans in congress, they've cast their lots

together. >> thank you, mitch. >> reporter: but the bad blood between trump and the democrats, especially house speaker nancy pelosi, is on full display last night at the state of the union. he refused to shake her hand, she tore up his speech as soon as he was finished. >> i was shocked by that. i did not see it as a demonstration of strong-willed speaker of the house in control of herself. she prides herself on not sinking to his level. and she did. >> reporter: with impeachment over, the focus for democrats is now totally geared to removing trump the old-fashioned way, at the ballot box. >> trump is the most dangerous president in the modern history of our country. >> can the person i'm voting for beat donald trump? i believe i can, and i will. >> we beat donald trump not by fighting other democrats. we beat donald trump by pulling this party together. >> reporter: today the candidates were out in force in

new hampshire where next tuesday's next in the nation primary is more important than it has been in years. abc's mary alice parks is just back from iowa, about to head off to new hampshire. >> this week is jam-packed with political events, between the state of union, the debacle that happened in iowa, abc has a debate coming up in new hampshire, all that taking place around this historic impeachment vote. it's just too much. it's head spinning. we talked to a lot of voters who say they just want to tune it all out. >> reporter: after the iowa caucuses failed to deliver results in a timely fashion, new hampshire is almost a do-over. the field in new hampshire still wide open. >> pete buttigieg is getting an awful lot of hype. bernie certainly has, but i'm not sure that he's going to make it to the finals. biden is really out. my husband really likes klobuchar very much, but she's not done super well. but i think she's a good

candidate as well. i'm still plugging for elizabeth warren, but i want to hear the candidates. >> reporter: party leaders may have kicked a hornet's nest. it could come back to sting them. >> in is not over yet, but as mitt romney said today it's up to a higher court, it's up to the american people to what they think come november. >> reporter: even so, many democratic voters don't fault the impeachment effort. >> it's not a waste of time. it's never a waste of time to do your job. >> it could hurt the democratic party, but nonetheless, i think it was the right thing to do. and i think history will prove that. >> i never have been that you election that was so trying. ah, disgusting. god. i'll be so glad when it's over with. >> reporter: for now, it is over, ending today, not with a bang, but with a womhimper. >> i move that the senate sitting as the court of

impeachment on donald john trump adjourn sine die. >> reporter: the question now, did this help or hurt democrats' chances to remove trump in november? i'm david wright for "nightline," in new york. the president says he will talk about his impeachment in the midday address tomorrow. up next, the newest and most personal project by annie hall actress diane keaton. ♪you make everything... groovy...♪ done yet? yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry. you sure? hmm.mmm. ♪come on, come on, wild thing. if you ride, you get it. geico motorcycle. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

diane keaton is navigating what may be her most intimate project, revealing her tumultuous relationship with her brother, how his struggle with inner demons has brought the pair closer than ever before. here's my "nightline" co-anchor, juju chang. >> reporter: to understand the significance of diane keaton's body of work, just check out her imdb page, from "father of the bride", to "something's got to give." >> we're just goofy when it comes to love. >> reporter: all the way back to her oscar-winning role in "annie hall". >> oh, well, la-di-da. >> reporter: she's been la-di-da-ing our way for 50 years, combining quirkiness and charisma. deemed hollywood royalty by hollywood royalty, honoring her with the lifetime achievement

award in 2017. >> can't imagine the '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000s without you. love you, diane. so does everybody. >> reporter: but diane isn't comfortable with all that adoration. >> every generation responds to you in some way. how does that feel as you're walking down the street? >> it makes me feel like you're crazy. [ laughter ] because that's not the way it can be. i'm a weirdo, you know? >> reporter: did i mention she's hilarious? her humor and fashion statements attracting 1.3 million followers on instagram. >> i love instagram. >> reporter: but her latest project speaks straight from the heart. brother and sister, a deeply-personal memoir about her relationship with her troubled baby brother randy. what made you write this memoir? >> i became the family documentarian. i think everyone has a family situation, almost all families, in some way. and randy was such an interesting character, because i think his mind was just unique

and unusual. >> reporter: diane pourred throh the family's treasure treasure e you say randy was the single male relationship that was the most intimate. >> yeah. he still is. >> reporter: what did you mean by that? >> look, i'm a person who's never married. and i think that randy had the most significance, and it's being played out now more than ever, now that he's, you know, he's kind of infirm in a way that he can't really express himself too much anymore. i look back on randy, i just think, wow, i wish i could have been a better sister. that's all i really do, i wish i could have been a better sister. >> reporter: their lives started out in the same bunk beds, southern california in the '50s, an idyllic suburban upbringing. >> we had a lot of happy times.

we went to the beach. we were always at the beach. always camping at the beach. and that was a very great time in our life. >> reporter: their childhood financially comfortable. and yet emotionally disjointed. randy struggled. >> had sort of a point of view of life that was always completely so sensitive, and he was so afraid. >> reporter: when did you first get an inkling that something was wrong with randy? >> i went off and i went to acting school, and i was like 19 or 20, something like that. he didn't have a direction. he didn't want to go to school. and he hated working for my father. and so it was sort of obvious that it was becoming unusual. i think mother and father, this was the dilemma of their life and the problem of their marriage, too. for dad, it was the son. he was so important. and for mom, it was protecting him. >> reporter: a loner, an outcast, she describes her brother's life as being spent on the other side of normal.

battling severe alcoholism, unable to hold a job. supported financially by her family. >> there wasn't a classic diagnosis in the sense that growing up in the '50s. >> yeah. it wasn't a time when people talked about mental health and addiction. >> no, no, none of that. absolutely not. my career was starting to take off more, and i was gone almost all the time. i lived in new york, i was traveling around. so i didn't see randy as often. so i wasn't really in the thick of it. >> reporter: he drank a lot. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: did you ever directly tray to stop him? >> no. >> reporter: why? >> because i just don't think that works. it wasn't like others hadn't tried. it wasn't like he hadn't seen psychiatrists early on. nothing, nothing made a difference. >> reporter: as randy's life floundered, diane's career took off. >> you know how naïve you sound? >> why? >> senators and presidents don't have men killed. >> reporter: you talk in the book about audition for "the godfather".

you thought it was a waste of time. >> yes. >> reporter: i was not the type of woman to play an upper class woman. >> i don't understand what they were thinking. >> reporter: and then a string of films with woody allen, including "annie hall." as her family's archivist she combed through her brother's letters and journal entries. >> reporter: you made a movie called "reds." your brother writes you a letter. there are times in "reds", when i wanted to stop the projector so the movement wouldn't move so fast. where did you learn to use your face so well? i think you ran across every emotion in the book, then threw the book away and made up some of your own. >> that was sweet of him. i don't know what to say. i'm sorry. >> reporter: randy's writing and his art work helped diane reconstruct his tortured mind-set which shifted from disturbing imagery to lyrical poetry. >> i heard myself echoing out of

the trees. one more sad voice. i heard my story reverberating in the air. along with the other voices of failure. at the foot of the mountains. there i came to sleep. >> reporter: what makes you emotional as you read his words? >> that it's sad to me, you know, that he had a difficult life. >> reporter: diane's life, in comparison, flourished off screen as well, adopting two children in her 50s. dexter and duke. she was with them, filming "something's got to give", when she found out randy was dying and needed a liver transplant. in 2003, he received that new liver, a second chance, one she says he squandered as he kept drinking unapology etically. >> and yet when he gets that close to dying and gets a new liver. >> oh, no, please don't even go there. >> reporter: how upset were you? >> well, yeah, we were all upset. he was out of control. he couldn't manage it at all.

>> reporter: diane writes that randy remained defiant after the transplant, telling her, i'm an alcoholic, and i don't care, i will never stop drinking. she writes the the more he became the boo radially character. he battles dementia, a change diane says brings them closer. as time passes she works to build new traditions. >> he loves life. we have a ritual every sunday where his caregiver and, you know, this therapist, we wheel him around, you know, to venice, and we hit the yogurt store. and we all have yogurt, and we sit there and talk a bit. >> reporter: a reminder for us all. that despite our failings, we can still cherish our loved ones, while there's still time. >> i adore him now more than ever.

>> reporter: i notice the photo credits. >> isn't that beautiful? >> reporter: it's beautiful. >> look how beautiful he is. >> reporter: he's so beautiful. >> our thanks to juju. up next, a celebration of hollywood royalty. break out the butter lobsterfest is on at red lobster if you've been dreaming about tender wild-caught lobster, dig in to butter-poached, fire-roasted and shrimp & lobster linguini. see? dreams do come true. or if you like a taste of new england without leaving home, try lobster, sautéed with crab, jumbo shrimp and more, or maybe you'd like to experience the ultimate surf and the ultimate turf... with so many lobster dishes, there's something for every lobster fan so hurry in and let's lobsterfest. or get pick up or delivery at redlobster.com ( ♪ ) only tylenol® rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol®.

actions speak louder than words. she was a school teacher. my dad joined the navy and helped prosecute the nazis in nuremberg. their values are why i walked away from my business, took the giving pledge to give my money to good causes, and why i spent the last ten years fighting corporate insiders who put profits over people. i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message. because, right now, america needs more than words. we need action.
