US House Judiciary Panel chairman Jerry Nadler has announced that two articles of impeachment will be introduced against President Donald Trump, including one for abuse of power?
House Democratic committee chairs announced articles of impeachment against President Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Nadler said Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukraine and that he has “declared himself above accountability.”
He said the second article of impeachment will be for obstruction of Congress. The Judiciary Committee will meet later this week to consider the articles.
Nadler also claimed that lawmakers must “act now” because the integrity of the 2020 elections are “at stake.” The Democrats are obviously putting on this political theater because they have no viable candidate for 2020 and they know it.”
Trump is now officially the fourth US president to face impeachment and, if impeached, would be the third to face a trial in the Senate.
Democrats launched impeachment proceedings on the back of whistle blower claims that Trump had tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open a corruption probe into a gas company employing former VP Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
They claim that Trump offered Zelensky a quid pro quo, offering military aid in return for an investigation which could hurt Biden politically during the 2020 presidential campaign.
However, in fact, Biden used to be the one bribing Kiev in exchange for military aid after the maiden coup earlier in 2014. That how his family members got their positions in Ukraine’s large energy companies, so they fear any investigation regarding the matter.
The first White House official to respond to the introduction of impeachment articles, Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told the Wall Street Journal that the impeachment inquiry was a “political process, not a legal process.”
Republicans believe the impeachment inquiry is a political witch hunt against the president and say that Democrats have so far produced no solid proof of any wrongdoing by Trump.
