Full impeachment report says Trump has realized framers’ ‘worst nightmare’
The House Judiciary Committee released its full 658-page report on the impeachment of President Donald Trump in the early hours of Monday, ahead of consideration by the full House later this week.
The committee concludes “that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our systems of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked. Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office.
The third part explores the Democrats’ case that Trump abused the power of his office to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate his domestic political rival—former Vice President Joe Biden—ahead of the 2020 election. Part four of the report makes the case that the president obstructed Congress’ ability to hold his administration accountable by refusing to comply with requests for documents and testimony.
On the obstruction charge, the report states that Trump did “everything in his power” to obstruct the impeachment inquiry, saying that, under his orders, the White House and other agencies “refused to produce a single document in response to Congressional subpoenas.”
