Pelosi says impeachment testimony shows 'bribery' case against Trump

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry: 'The devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery uncovered in the inquiry and that the president abused power and violated his oath.'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that testimony from two U.S. diplomats in the Democrats' first public impeachment hearing on Wednesday uncovered"evidence of bribery" against President Donald Trump.

Pelosi said that the testimony shows Trump made a"clear attempt" to give himself an advantage in the 2020 election, jeopardizing national security and the U.S. election in violation of his oath of office. The Democrats' shifting focus to the allegation of bribery in recent days appears to be no accident. Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states,"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
