House Approves Articles of Impeachment

Breaking news today as the house voted to approve the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. Last night, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler suddenly halted the debate just before the final votes were cast. The session had gone on for more than 14 hours. This angered republicans who said Nadler wanted to televise the official vote during daytime hours as it was nearing midnight when they broke. Now all the votes have been cast and the Judiciary Committee has approved the two articles of impeachment. One for alleged abuse of power and another on obstruction of congress. This hearing now sets the stage for a formal impeachment vote to be held with the house next week.
