Democrats in the House of Representatives announced formal charges against President Donald Trump on Tuesday that accuse him of abusing power and obstructing Congress
WASHINGTON - Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives announced formal charges against President Donald Trump on Tuesday that accuse him of abusing power by pressuring Ukraine to probe a political rival and obstructing Congress’ investigation into the scandal.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told reporters that Democrats had to take action because Trump had endangered the U.S. Constitution, undermined the integrity of the 2020 election and jeopardized national security. The White House, which has refused to participate in the hearings in the House because it says the process is unfair, accused Democrats of engaging in a “baseless and partisan” attempt to undo the results of the 2016 election.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi leads Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler , House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff and other Democratic committee chairs through statuary hall to a news conference to announce artiicles of impeachment against U.S. President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., December 10, 2019.
Republicans argue Trump did nothing improper in his call with Zelenskiy and say there is no direct evidence he withheld aid or a White House meeting in exchange for a favor. Democrats sought to counter the argument that impeachment was being done at the expense of passing major legislation.
