Will Donald Trump lose all his benefits as a former president if he’s convicted at his impeachment trial?

Donald Trump’s looming impeachment trial won’t be the tipping point that removes him from office, even if he is convicted — Joe Biden will already have taken over.
But it does raise a question: what about all the benefits a former US president gets after leaving office?
Former presidents and vice-presidents are usually guaranteed pensions, security, travel allowances and a raft of other entitlements after finishing up at the White House.
An impeachment conviction has never happened before, so it’s not certain at this stage exactly which of these benefits Mr Trump would get to keep and which he wouldn’t.
Here’s what we know about the process so far.
