House Democrats Unveil Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

Charges Are Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress

Read the articles of impeachment against Mr. Trump.

The New York Times

Articles of impeachment are unveiled

Democrats formally called for President Trump’s removal from office, charging him with abusing his power and obstructing Congress and asserting that he “ignored and injured the interests of the nation.”

The draft articles, spanning nine pages, accuse Mr. Trump of “corruptly soliciting” election assistance from the government of Ukraine in the form of investigations that would smear his Democratic political rivals. Read them for yourself.

Details: Democrats say Mr. Trump used two “official acts” as leverage: $391 million in security assistance for Ukraine, and a White House meeting for its new president.

The second article charges that Mr. Trump engaged in “unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance” by ordering officials not to comply with subpoenas for testimony and documents.

The White House response: The president’s press secretary accused Democrats of “forcing unfounded accusations down the throats of the American people.”

What’s next: The House Judiciary Committee could vote by Thursday to recommend the charges to the full chamber for final approval. If the House follows through next week, as expected, Mr. Trump could stand trial in the Senate early in the new year. It would take two-thirds of the Senate to convict Mr. Trump and remove him from office.
