1. Trump has indeed been impeached.
2. He won't be prosecuted but joins a short list of fellow US Presidents to be successfully impeached - Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon and Andrew Johnson.

Nixon was
not impeached. It is debatable if Trump has thanks to Pelosi not sending the Articles to the Senate.
Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman:-

"Impeachment as contemplated by the Constitution does not consist merely of the vote by the House, but of the process of sending the articles to the Senate for trial," Feldman wrote in Bloomberg. "Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution: The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment. And the Senate must actually hold a trial."

Feldman was one of the legal experts called by Democrats to testify before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month and has advocated for Mr. Trump's impeachment and removal from office.
