Impeachment proceedings reached a new turning point this morning.
The House Judiciary Committee officially voted in favor of articles of impeachment against President Trump; these articles maintain that the president abused power and obstructed justice.
A Recap of Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump
In September, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the beginning of an impeachment inquiry against President Trump. This inquiry centered around a phone call which Trump had with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Following this call, a whistleblower came out and accused Trump of forcing a quid-pro-quo with Ukraine. Both Trump and Zelesnky denied the occurrence of any quid-pro-quo, but that didn’t matter to Pelosi or the other Democrats.
Earlier this week, House Democrats announced their articles of impeachment against the president. Pelosi, Nadler, and others stated that Trump engaged in obstruction of justice and abuse of power. Following these articles against the president, members of the House debated on matters amongst themselves.
