An ever-defiant Trump called the panel's impeachment vote 'an embarrassment to our country'.

US President Donald Trump stood on the verge of impeachment Friday after a House panel approved charges he abused his power and obstructed Congress, setting up a historic vote in the chamber next week.

"Yet we must meet the challenge posed by a president who puts himself before the country, whose actions pose a direct threat to the integrity of our elections, and to the separation of powers that safeguard our liberty." An ever-defiant Trump, who insists there is a witch hunt against him, called the panel's impeachment vote"an embarrassment to our country."

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who held up a pocket copy of the US Constitution as she voted, said she was not acting against Trump as a person. "I have never, in my entire life, seen such an unfair, rigged railroad job against the president of the United States."
