The House committees investigating Trump uncovered a months-long effort 'to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election,' according to their report.
USA TODAYWASHINGTON – While President Donald Trump was meeting with NATO leaders across the pond in London, the impeachment inquiry into him in Washington was moving full-steam ahead Tuesday.
It will now go to the House Judiciary Committee, clearing the way for that committee to consider whether to draft articles of impeachment. The Judiciary Committee is expected to hold its first hearing in the formal impeachment inquiry on Wednesday to explore how the Constitution applies to the allegations of misconduct.
"President Trump and his senior officials may see nothing wrong with using the power of the Office of the President to pressure a foreign country to help the President’s reelection campaign," said the report from the Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Oversight and Reform committees.
