The House Judiciary Committee is finalizing articles of impeachment against President Trump as Democrats prepare to make him the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.
“If our elections are corrupt, everything is corrupt,” he said.
One of the investigations sought by Trump would have focused on a debunked conspiracy theory about Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election, and the other would have targeted former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential Democratic opponent of Trump in the 2020 election. Rep. Doug Collins , the ranking member on the panel, said Democrats were merely pursuing a “three-year vendetta against someone they couldn’t beat.”All 41 members of the committee were allowed to deliver opening statements, as the hearing continued into the night. Democrats focused their comments on dire warnings about Trump inviting foreign governments to meddle in U.S. politics, undermining citizens’ faith in elections.
