WASHINGTON - U.S. lawmakers moved closer on Thursday to impeaching Republican President Donald Trump, as members of a House of Representatives committee debated formal charges that are likely to be sent to the full House for a final vote next week.
Republicans requested another hearing and said their rights had been trampled in the inquiry, but were voted down by the panel’s Democratic majority. Republicans also moved to strike the first charge of abuse of power, but the committee rejected it on a party-line vote. “This notion of abuse of power is the lowest of low-energy impeachment theories,” said Republican Representative Matt Gaetz.“Forget about President Trump. Will any one of my colleagues on the other side say that it is an abuse of power to condition aid on official acts?” said Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters the full House would take up the articles of impeachment next week if approved by the committee. “The articles of impeachment will pass,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic caucus chairman, told reporters. McConnell said on Wednesday no decision had been made over how to conduct the trial. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer said he thought the Senate trial would last a week to two weeks at most.
So what.
