Democrats have argued that Mr Trump betrayed his oath of office, and put his own political interests above those of the country, by seeking to pressure Ukraine into investigating his rival Joe Biden. Mr Biden's son Hunter was on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, while he was vice-president. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Trump is accused of trying to leverage $391 million in military aid to Ukraine to kick start a corruption investigation into Mr Biden. The president has called the impeachment inquiry a partisan "witch hunt" and denied doing anything wrong.
Other articles of impeachment under consideration had included bribery and obstruction of justice.

No such thing a “Obstruction of Congress”. That is a completely fraudulent charge with utterly no merit what so ever. This PDF is merely a pathetic attempt to conflate “Obstruction of Justice” into a completely made up new charge of “Obstruction of Congress”.
The Executive is a Co Equal Branch of Govt. Basically the Democrats are trying to manufacture a scheme that Congress has some sort of mythical super authority over our Government.
Based on this ridiculous claim they could impeach Supreme Court Justices any time they over turned a Congressional act. By ruling against the act of Congress the Justices would be guilty of this mythical “Obstruction of Congress”
President Trump’s interest in finding out about Crowdstrike and Burisma stems from Joe Biden bragging on tape that he got the prosecutor fired.
That stuff is now water under the bridge, but they have to throw these two things into the article because they actually sound like legitimate things (at least in theory). On the other hand, the two articles they are going forward with, are not real things at all.
This is all just silliness. But scary.
I'd like to see President Trump put together his own version of USMCA and then submit that treaty to the Senate, where it belongs.
The “Abuse of Office” is equally as fraudulent as any act by the President that Congress happens to be opposed to could and potentially would be classified as “abuse of office”.
Tonight’s rally should be a good one!
Yeah really scary. If this is allowed to stand the rule of law is now what ever the Democrat Fascist Party feels it should be. There will no longer be any check on their power.
Democrats wanted to undo an election... they’re little balls of hatred and jealousy. It’s like the school whore trying to prove a nice girl kissed her boyfriend.
Actually there is. But it's the elephant in the room that either is not talked about or in the abstract.
It's why there has been a push to grab guns.
Malarkey!!
Trump rally?
Article 1.
Orange Man bad.
Article 2.
Orange Man hurt our feelings.
Trump needs to run a ad 24/7 of the Joe Biden video threatening the Ukraine to fire the prosecutor. ..run it on every channel especially during the daytime soaps. Pound this hard. Then he needs to talk about crowdstrike and crossfire hurricane.
Trumps mistake was he didn’t withhold enough! Pedo Joe withheld a BILLION!
I’m looking forward to it. He will nail their collective livers to the wall.
Articles of impeachment for two counts of obstruction of impeachment, really.
Tonight. Hershey, Pa.
I hope he does!
I think it’s mighty kind of the younger Democrat politicians to throw away their futures to protect these old Democrat leaders from being rightfully punished for their crimes.
