Even if we ignore those facts entirely… I’d argue that impeachment is an equivalent trial for a sitting President.
The House of Representatives found he did do it and impeached him, the Senate chose not to punish him. That’s not the same as being found innocent or having charges dropped. That’s like eing found guilty and the Judge sentencing someone to time already served.
