House Democrats have unveiled articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing the Republican leader of "high crimes and misdemeanors". In a statement delivered to the press, Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jerry Nadler, announced that his committee is considering two articles of impeachment - one for abuse of power and another for the obstruction of Congress.

If found to be guilty, Nadler says this would make Trump responsible for compromising national security, threatening the integrity of the upcoming election and concealing evidence from Congress and the American people, which is a severe violation of the oath of office that Trump took during his inauguration.

Ridiculous, and he knows that is not true. Both the President & Foreign Minister of Ukraine said, many times, that there 'WAS NO PRESSURE.' Nadler and the Dems know this, but refuse to acknowledge! [sic]" Commenting on the impeachment, Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told NBC News: "The argument, 'why don't you just wait?' amounts to this: 'Why don't you just let [Trump] cheat in one more election. Why not let him cheat just one more time. Why not let him have foreign help, just one more time. The president's oath of office appears to mean very little to him."
