House Democrats are expected to unveil two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump early Tuesday morning ― one focused on abuse of power and another related to obstruction of Congress ― multiple media outlets reported late Monday.
Trump has been under scrutiny for months after a whistleblower warned of a pressure campaign against the new president of Ukraine. A parade of current and former U.S. officials have since described an effort to withhold nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine unless it promised to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
The Judiciary Committee is expected to mark up the articles on Thursday, Politico reported, citing Democratic lawmakers and aides familiar with the party’s plans. The timeline could set up a floor vote on any articles of impeachment as early as next week, which, if passed, would deliver on Democrats’ hope to pass the baton to the Senate before Christmas.
“The evidence shows that Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, has put himself before the country,” Nadler said in his opening remarks. “He has violated his most basic responsibilities to the people. He has broken his oath.”
