Two impeachment articles expected against Trump — reports

Democrats are expected to announce two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. | ap

Four months after a whistleblower sparked the investigation of Trump for seeking illicit political favors from Ukraine, Democrats said at Monday’s hearing there was abundant evidence that he had committed bribery, abused his power and obstructed the investigation.

Fueling the partisan divisions in Washington, the Republicans marshaled a Department of Justice report released Monday as ammunition for a counteroffensive. The president is accused of abusing his powers by pressuring Ukraine to announce an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden, his potential challenger in the 2020 election.

“In the scheme to pressure Ukraine… the person at the center of that scheme was President Donald Trump,” he told the hearing. “Democrats are obsessed with impeaching the president,” he said, calling evidence from the transcript of a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky “baloney.”

“On this record, there is a legitimate basis for President Trump to have concern about Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board,” Castor said.
