'Don't accuse me' of hating Trump, Pelosi fires back at a reporter after announcing the next steps in the impeachmentinquiry
WASHINGTON - Warning that American democracy is at stake, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday she has asked a House committee to draft articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, a historic step that sets up a fight over whether to oust him from office.
“Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and our heart full of love for America, today I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment,” Pelosi said. If the House passes articles of impeachment as expected, that would lead to a trial in the Senate on whether to convict Trump and remove him from office. Trump’s fellow Republicans control the Senate and have shown little support for his removal.Trump, who has denied wrongdoing, reacted to Pelosi’s announcement on Twitter by writing, “The Do Nothing, Radical Left Democrats have just announced that they are going to seek to Impeach me over NOTHING.
Democrats have accused Trump of abusing his power by withholding $391 million in security aid to Ukraine - a vulnerable U.S. ally facing Russian aggression - as leverage to pressure Kiev into conducting investigations politically beneficial to Trump and granting Zelenskiy a coveted White House meeting. The money was provided to Ukraine in September after the controversy had spilled into public view.
