'The argument, 'why don't you just wait' amounts to this: 'Why don't you just let him cheat in one more election?''
WASHINGTON – House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment Tuesday accusing President Donald Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, setting up a constitutional clash between the two branches of government that has only happened three times before.
Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said it was an abuse of power for Trump to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the national interest. Nadler said Trump's stonewalling and"indiscriminate defiance" of the investigation represented obstruction of Congress. But Trump has called the inquiry a partisan “witch hunt” and a “hoax.” Trump met Zelensky and released the $391 million in aid without an announcement of investigations. Congressional Republicans contend Trump had the authority to suspend aid and set foreign policy.The announcement sets up Judiciary Committee votes on whether to recommend each article to the full House. If the House adopts the articles, the Senate would hold a trial in early 2020 to decide whether to remove Trump from office.
