[Washington, 12th Reuters]-The US House Judiciary Committee voted a resolution that would allow a deeper impeachment investigation against President Trump on the 12th and voted in favor of 17 against 24.
This will allow the House Judiciary to hold a hearing as part of the impeachment procedure, to give more in-depth questions to the witnesses, and to accelerate the investigation.
"The new jurisdiction chairman Nadler will start a series of hearings next week to investigate corruption, sabotage, and allegations of power abuse by President Trump," he said.
The judicial commission's movement may increase pressure on Democratic leadership, who is cautious about presidential impeachment. Some Democrats are gaining momentum for the Trump impeachment.
By the end of the year, Democratic lawmakers in the Justice Committee will aim to decide whether to propose impeachment against President Trump to the House of Representatives.
Reuters estimates that 135 House Democrats support the impeachment investigation. However, it is necessary to attach 218 support to the House of Representatives.
