Today’s impeachment hearing against President Donald Trump is the first to take place since last week’s new developments on the inquiry. Per the announcement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrats will move forward with articles of impeachment against President Trump.
A Brief Review of Arguments For and Against Impeachment
Democrats continue to maintain that President Trump violated his oath of office earlier this year. This argument asserts that Trump pressured Ukraine leader Zelensky into investigating Biden and engaged in a quid-pro-quo; this is a narrative which Democrats continue to stand by, despite denials from both Trump and Zelensky.
Republicans, on the other hand, are noting the lack of evidence to support impeachment. Furthermore, those on the right have pointed out Democrats’ longterm efforts and interest in removing Trump from office.
