Impeachment Report Says Trump Solicited Foreign Election Interference
WASHINGTON House Democrats on Tuesday asserted that President Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to help him in the 2020 presidential election, releasing a 300-page impeachment report that found that Mr. Trump placed his own personal and political interests above the national interests of the United States.
The report by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee was a sweeping indictment of the presidents behavior, concluding that his actions sought to undermine American democracy and endangered national security. They left it to another committee to decide whether to formally recommend Mr. Trumps impeachment and removal, but the report laid out in searing fashion what are all but certain to be the grounds on which the House moves to impeach the president.
The founding fathers prescribed a remedy for a chief executive who places his personal interests above those of the country: impeachment, it said.
The reports release set in motion the next phase in the impeachment of Mr. Trump, accelerating a constitutional clash that has happened only three times in the nations history. Both parties are poised for a fierce, partisan debate in the House Judiciary Committee over whether to charge the president with high crimes and misdemeanors, the Constitutions threshold for removal, and a likely partisan vote by the House to do so before Christmas.
