Democrats in US House of Representatives announce two articles of impeachment against President Trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress
Details of the Democrats' plans were shared by multiple people familiar with the discussions but not authorised to discuss them and granted anonymity.When asked if she has enough votes to impeach the Republican president, Pelosi leader said she would let House lawmakers vote their conscience.
“To Impeach a President who has proven through results, including producing perhaps the strongest economy in our country's history, to have one of the most successful presidencies ever, and most importantly, who has done NOTHING wrong, is sheer Political Madness! #2020Election,” he wrote on Twitter. At the Judiciary hearing, Democrats said Trump's push to have Ukraine investigate rival Joe Biden while withholding US military aid ran counter to U.S. policy and benefited Russia as well as himself.
In drafting the articles of impeachment, Pelosi is facing a legal and political challenge of balancing the views of her majority while hitting the Constitution's bar of "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanours."Some liberal lawmakers wanted more expansive charges encompassing the findings from former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Democrats argued vigorously that Trump's meaning could not have been clearer in seeking political dirt on Biden, his possible opponent in the 2020 election.
