Trump charged with abusing his office by pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election and obstructing Congress from conducting an investigation into his actions. WASHINGTON, D.C. - House Democrats on Tuesday said they would bring two articles of impeachment against President Trump, setting up just the third vote to impeach a U.S. president in history. Democrats are bringing two charges against Trump: that he abused the power of his office and that he obstructed Congress in the impeachment inquiry. "It is an impeachable offense for a president to use the powers of his office to seek a personal benefit," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in introducing the first article. |
