The Judiciary Committee has approved to advance both articles of impeachment against President Trump to the House floor for a final vote.
Approval by the committee on the articles charging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress comes after two dates of debate.
for a monthslong campaign to pressure Ukraine to launch investigations into his political opponents and his subsequent refusal to allow senior White House aides to testify before Congress as it investigated the matter. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
The amendments were primarily introduced by Republicans who oppose the impeachment and who sought to amend the articles either to weaken their language or insert language that boosted the president's defense. Despite being warned not to testify, several administration officials told Congress that Trump and his private attorney Rudy Giuliani led a sweeping effort to pressure newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to announce two investigations Trump wanted: one into former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, and the other into a debunked conspiracy theory about supposed Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S.
The congressional impeachment inquiry was triggered by a whistleblower's complaint that stemmed from the phone call.
