NEW: House Democrats have considered drafting up to three articles of impeachment against Pres. Trump, sources tell ABC News.

House Democrats have considered drafting as many as three articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, as they prepare to take their Ukraine impeachment inquiry public next week after a month of closed-door depositions, according to multiple sources familiar with the deliberations.

They have also weighed an obstruction of justice charge centered on the president’s efforts to obstruct former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Mueller’s findings in the second volume of his report, focused on obstruction, are repeatedly referenced in the report accompanying their resolution laying out the impeachment inquiry.

The topic of the number of articles was raised by a lawmaker in one recent meeting Pelosi held with a group of Democrats focused on impeachment messaging, according to sources familiar with the discussion, though Pelosi did not appear to engage with the comment one way or another. Although the bulk of the impeachment hearings will happen in the Intelligence Committee, the Judiciary Committee will draft the articles of impeachment. It’s not clear whether they will include accusations of criminal wrongdoing.

It could also focus pressure on some Republicans in the House and Senate who have disapproved of the administration’s refusal to comply with some of House Democrats’ oversight efforts, but rejected concerns of whether Trump has abused his power as president.

Let's do it...we are tired of this gane

HAHAHAHA....

There should also be articles of impeachment for Pompeo, Pence, Mulvaney and Barr for obstruction of Congress.

If true bombshell

WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump How was our President received at the LSU v Alabama game!

But it won't pass in the senate...or it may pass if DNC wins a majority in 2020..but rest assured of this..if DJT is impeached...if republicans gain majority...the democrat president would end up being impeached for far less...

Only THREE! Sad!

Get it right.....no half stepping

Why don’t you consider getting back to work? Idiot!!!

They have been doing this since he was ELECTED in 2016, so what’s your point.

When are they going to impeach drunken Nancy Pelosi

I can think of easily a dozen, without even trying!

Impeach Nancy Peolosi

Draft up their doom

Dems shouldn't 'overplay' their 'articles of impeachment' by including the Mueller report. This will only muddy the impeachment process and cause more problems.

Sweet. Let’s get this over with so he can get back to work.

epstein

Oops.

Impeach ABC for peddling this crap. EpsteinCoverup

That one didn't stick, how about this one? Wait, we've got more.

Right on. Add another article of impeachment, that the President has his head too far up his fruit of the looms.

So? She has a specific statute that was violated? Or, per this tweet, 3?

That’s good. That’ll be three articles the senate can use to wipe their asses. This joke of an impeachment will be dismissed as soon as it hits the senate. Hopefully not before the GOP can call some of THEIR witnesses

And these liberals will lose on each one lol!!! This is t going to go well for these corrupt liberals that are so desperate to keep their corrupt secrets hidden that they would publicly try and take out a sitting president illegally.

Tell us something we don’t already know!!!

Nancy... Do some work for the people of the USA! Infrastructure, Immigration, Healthcare, etc.

Stop protecting pedophiles abc. Thanks.

😂 what a joke.

They're just *trying* to get him reelected at this point.

BS Coup!

Art-1: He hurt our feelings and seems happy to do it repeatedly. Art-2: He had the audacity to run for President in 2016 as a non-politician, and he beat us at our own game. Art-3: He's done such a good job as a champion of the U.S.A. and its people, he makes us look bad.

Why not 5

Hey I might want to stop tweeting you are not truthful

I just wish they would work on

you was saying what

I hope they come up with twenty It’s all bullshit

Only three? Is that because we don't think realDonaldTrump can count higher than that?

Bring it

Yawn....

😅😅😅 Is everybody having as much fun as me watching the Democrat party implode in real time

Getting a little drafty amongst the Democrats? It's time to close the windows on all their scans, shams, schemes & daydreams. Seriously, these clowns should not be paid salaries to persecute our patriotic President!

Abuse of power, obstruction and bribery

Idoits get over this and do your job and that’s not hating on trump

The American people already know the drill, We know that democrats ultimate goal is to destroy this country and help illegal aliens take over our country.

Article 1: He’s trying drain the swamp and don’t like that.

Good luck fuckers.

Scam

I love how my tax dollars are being spent to impeach the president. And she gets paid $200k a year for this. Why don’t you just give your salary to a teacher instead

TheView That’s what they do when something is not working,

TheView It’ll be summarily dismissed until the Senate. Waste of fucking time, money and resources. When will the socialist democrats produce legislature to improve the lives of the American working class family. So far they have done nothing!

TheView 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮

“Sources” means no one but the morning staff meeting making up a narrative. You could have saved kids by running with Epstein years ago. You have to live with yourselves.

TheView is a pedo ring.

TheView

TheView Fine and dandy. But impeachment won't happen. How about that Epstine murder ya all covering up? When can we hear about that?

TheView Let um try!!!

TheView What a dog and pony show! But I'm all for it, because when 2020 rolls around the Democrats will look like buffoons for starting the impeachment! Graham warned them 6 months ago not to go down that road! He said it took the Republicans 15 years to recover!

TeresaFeldman2 Awesome and Treason and Treachery must be one where his final destination is prosecution and conviction for Treason and Treachery.

Is this true? Sources are asking.

EpsteinSuicideCoverUp

TheView ABC kills the Jeffrey Epstein story and then claims that Fox is a propaganda machine and Tulsi Gabbard's a Russian agent. It sounds like a great place to work as a woman. JoyBeharDestroyed

TheView Fuck considering! DO IT........ there should be enough evidence by now to get him out the White House.

TheView I boycott The View and everyone associated with it because this show isn't about letting people form their own opinions but rather it's about telling people what they should think and spreading lies. It should be removed in my opinion.

TheView Bunch of liberals loon, we caught you in so many lies this week! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

TheView SHAM AND IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN LOL

TheView trump is SO corrupt even that won't be enough but it will do just get him exposed that then throw out as many enabling republicans out as possible. GET OUR COUNTRY OUT OF THEIR HANDS

TheView At least the view is not biased😕😝😉

TheView So do you gals think it was ok for ABC to get the Whistle Blower fired from CBS ? Since you think it is important to protect the Trump Whistle Blower thought you mite have an opinion on this issue .

This is already over. The Whistleblower lied, the Whistleblower's lawyer admits its a coup and the transcript shows nothing. A BIG OL nothing Burger! (AGAIN)

TheView Moe, you write the first... Larry, you get the second... Curly, nail the third.

Why do three if one is enough?. I thought they could impeach for any reason.

Can the House now pass the USMCA?

Awesome. Never know when you’ll run out of toilet paper.

kigogo2014 ImpeachAndRemove

Gonna' be fun watching all the crying when he's acquitted at the senate trial. Might even be more entertaining than election night 2016.

Taylor said, based on his own false inferences, bias and hatred toward President Trump, that he developed false impressions and understandings that made him believe he could spew the lies Adam 4-Pinocchios Schiff wanted him to recite.
