Democrats have accused President Donald Trump of \u201cmultiple federal crimes\u201d including criminal bribery and wire fraud in a new report released on Monday morning that explains the two articles of impeachment that the House of Representatives is expected to approve on Wednesday, making Trump only the third US president ever impeached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US senate will hold a trial subsequently, in January, to remove Trump from office or acquit him, and let him continue. Indian American lawmakers Pramila Jayapal and Raja Krishnamoorthi could be among \u201cimpeachment managers\u201d appointed by House Democrats to argue their case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, events are moving rapidly towards the Wednesday vote, in which Democrats are expected to impeach Trump in a party-line vote, with a few defections. One Democrat, who represents a swing district, is reportedly considering voting \u201cno\u201d, and joining the Republican party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s abuse of power encompassed both the constitutional offense of \u2018Bribery\u2019 and multiple federal crimes,\u201d said the report by the Democratic-led House judiciary committee, which voted last week to advance the articles of impeachment for a House vote. \u201cHe has betrayed the national interest, the people of this Nation, and should not be permitted to be above the law. It is therefore all the more vital that he be removed from office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report also made clear that \u201calthough President Trump\u2019s actions need not rise to the level of a criminal violation to justify impeachment, his conduct here was criminal\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
