EXPLAINED: What articles of impeachment may lie ahead for Trump?
All eyes are on what charges House Democrats plan to bring against President Trump now that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked the House to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment. And while House Democrats have yet to announce those charges, they may have already dropped some clues as to what they could be.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., reiterated these three points in his closing statement: “The White House has once again attempted to impede and obstruct the impeachment inquiry,” the three House chairmen wrote in the statement. The third possible article of impeachment — obstruction of justice — involves the Mueller investigation, which Democrats included in their questioning during Wednesday’s hearing. Nadler also referenced the Mueller investigation in his opening statement.
