Fog Blog U.S. News Log: Donald Trump Impeachment Vote:
AFTER HISTORIC VOTE.....THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HEAD TO THE FULL HOUSE!......In a grave repudiation of President Donald Trump's conduct, the House Judiciary Committee voted Friday to send articles of impeachment to the full House, marking only the fourth time a president has faced such a move.The morning move toward impeaching the President set the stage for a historic vote by the House next week.Though Democrats are facing at least two defections within their caucus on the politically fraught vote, it is now almost a foregone conclusion that the Democratically-controlled House will impeach Trump.Members will consider two charges against Trump approved by the committee Friday. The first article of impeachment accuses the President of abusing his power by withholding military aid and a White House meeting while pressuring Ukraine's President to investigate his political rival. The second accuses Trump of obstructing Congress by thwarting the House's investigative efforts.
