Here's a recap of the article of impeachment House Democrats unveiled yesterday
The resolution states Trump pressured Ukraine’s president to open an investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden — as well as other Democratic adversaries — and withheld a crucial White House meeting and military aid to extract a public announcement of the probes.
The announcement also came as Democrats attempt to end the year with a flurry of legislating and dealmaking with a president whom they are calling to oust — including a major agreement on a North American trade pact that is one of Trump’s top priorities. “Without lawful cause or excuse, President Trump directed executive branch agencies, offices and officials not to comply with subpoenas,” the impeachment resolution states.
“In the history of the republic, no president has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’” the resolution states. Democrats sought to use the articles to outline a “pattern” of Trump’s alleged misconduct, including his efforts to thwart special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
