US House committee nears vote on impeachment articles against Trump

House Democratic caucus chairman Hakeem Jeffries says articles of impeachment will pass.

The Republican-led chamber is unlikely to vote to find the president guilty and remove him from office. “Rules have just been thrown out the window in this process,” said Republican US Representative Debbie Lesko.Democrats accuse Trump of abusing his power by trying to force Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and of obstructing Congress when lawmakers tried to look into the matter.

“Is any one of my colleagues willing to say that it is ever OK for a president of the United States of America to invite foreign interference in our elections?”“No crime!” Trump wrote on Twitter early Thursday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters the full House would take up the articles of impeachment next week if approved by the committee.

“The sooner we can dismiss it the better. Especially when it’s going to be 10 months from the next election,” Cramer said.
