House Democrats Announce Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

The House Judiciary Committee will pursue two articles of impeachment against President Trump, a narrower approach than some Democrats had hoped, as the Republican-led Senate outlined plans for a trial early in the new year.

The first of the two articles accuse Mr. Trump of abuse of power by soliciting election interference from Ukraine and also conditioning U.S. aid to Kyiv and a White House meeting on those probes. Democrats also allege Mr. Trump obstructed Congress by preventing at least nine officials from testifying and by blocking records from across the federal government from being shared with lawmakers.

“We must be clear: no one, not even the president, is above the law,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D., N.Y.) said Tuesday.
