Democrats Level Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

House Democrats have announced two articles of impeachment charging President Donald Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The charges unveiled on Tuesday, 10 December, stem from Trump's pressure on Ukraine to announce investigations of his political rivals as he withheld aid to the country.

Earlier during the day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Trump tried to “corrupt our upcoming elections” and remains a “threat to our democracy and national security.”
