Democrats Unveil Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

VOA News

   Leading House Democrats unveiled two articles of impeachment against
   U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, accusing him of abusing his
   office for personal political gain and obstructing the congressional
   impeachment inquiry.

   It was only the fourth time in the 243-year history of the United
   States that impeachment charges have been brought against an American
   leader, although Trump's removal from office remains unlikely.

   House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler, head of the panel
   that will first consider the impeachment articles, contended that Trump
   "sees himself as above the law." Nadler alleged that Trump threatened
   U.S. national security by withholding key military aid to Ukraine. He
   said the president threatened the integrity of the 2020 election, in
   which he is seeking a second term in office, and sought to block
   congressional review of his actions.

   "He consistently puts himself above the country," Nadler said.
