Nancy Pelosi Asks House of Representatives to Draft Impeachment Charges Against Donald Trump

There’s a huge update in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump – Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi just asked the House to begin drafting impeachment charges against President Trump.

“The facts are uncontested: The president abused his power for his own personal, political benefit at the expense of our national security by withholding military aid [in] exchange for… an investigation into his political rival,” Speaker Pelosi said in a press conference. “Our democracy is what is at stake. The president leaves us no choice but to act, because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election for his own benefit.”

The inquiry in question surrounded the President’s conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. The Democratic investigation into Trump claim they found that he pressured the Ukrainian President to investige former Vice President Joe Biden, while withholding a White House meeting and $391 million in military assistance, the New York Times reports.
