US President Donald Trump Impeached By The House Of Representatives

US President Donald Trump was impeached in the wee hours of Wednesday by the house, on account of power abuse. Trump becomes the third president in the history of the US to be impeached.

The house voted against Donald for two charges- obstruction of Congress and that he abused his power in dealings related to Ukraine. With 197 out of 230 votes against him, Trump will now face a senate trial, where the Republicans have the power to discharge him off the post.

The impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump was started three months back on 24 September 2019, when he was accused of power abuse for pressuring Ukraine to investigate his potential White House challenger in 2020, the veteran Democrat Joe Biden.

In defense, President Trump sent a rambling six-page letter to the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling Congress’ impeachment inquiry a partisan “crusade,” an “unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power” and a “spiteful” election-nullification scheme.
