DONALD TRUMP IMPEACHED

House of Representatives charges the resident with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress

  • The House of Representatives impeached resident Donald Trump on Wednesday. He is the third resident in history to be impeached.
  • The chamber is voting on two articles of impeachment against Trump. The first article, charging Trump with abuse of power, passed the House with a vote of 230-197.
  • House lawmakers also voted to pass the second article of impeachment, which charges Trump with obstruction of Congress, with a vote of 229-198.
  • Both articles relate to Trump's efforts to solicit Ukraine's interference in the 2020 election while withholding vital military aid and a White House meeting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky desperately sought.
  • Next, the impeachment proceedings will go to the Republican controlled Senate, which is widely expected to acquit the resident.
