WASHINGTON - Democrats sought on Monday to bolster the case for impeaching President Donald Trump, describing his pressure on Ukraine to investigate a political rival as a “clear and present danger” to national security and the upcoming U.S. election.
His words portended the next crucial step in the impeachment inquiry launched on Sept. 25 into whether Trump improperly solicited foreign help in the U.S. election. “They’re desperate to have an impeachment vote on this president,” said Representative Doug Collins, the top Republican on the panel. They also argued there was no first-hand evidence Trump withheld $391 million in military aid or a White House meeting to get his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as a debunked theory that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.The proceedings on Monday were disrupted by a man who shouted that Democrats were committing treason and was escorted out of the chamber.
Democrats accuse Trump of abusing his power by withholding aid to Ukraine, vulnerable as it faced Russian aggression, as well as dangling a possible White House meeting to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to launch the probes. “Trump’s persistent and continuing effort to coerce a foreign country to help him cheat to win an election is a clear and present danger to our free and fair elections and to our national security,” Goldman said during Monday’s hearing.
