The House judiciary committee voted along party lines Friday to approve two articles of impeachment, charging President Donald Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
In an expected outcome, the Democratic-held committee voted 23-17 to approve each of the two counts. The vote shifts the impeachment articles to the full House for a vote next week.
The charges were contained in a nine-page resolution charging Trump with two offenses stemming from Trump’s pressing the Ukraine government to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, a former board member at Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
The first says the president leveraged a White House meeting for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to pressure Kiev into launching the investigations.
