Exploiting abuse of authority and disrupting investigation: Democrats presented indictments against Trump

Democrats in the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday unveiled impeachment charges against U.S. President Donald Trump. Exposure of the clauses could lead to a vote on impeachment in the House of Representatives this week. The clauses that have come up against Trump are abusing his authority and disrupting congressional investigations.

"He considers himself above the law," said Justice Committee chairman Jerold Nadler, who introduced the indictments. "We have to be clear - no one, including the president, is above the law."

Trump's ouster process began following the Ukraine-Gate affair, which, Democrats said, pressured Ukraine to launch an investigation against his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, and then disrupted Congressional efforts to investigate his actions. Trump denies that he acted incorrectly and describes the impeachment process against him as a "witch hunt."

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Trump is still working to challenge future elections in the United States. He said if he could run in the November election, Trump's refusal to cooperate with Congress would allow "future presidents to be corrupt, without giving the verdict" ".

At the end of the last impeachment hearing last night, the Democratic committees leading the impeachment meeting met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The facts are clear, "Nadler said yesterday." The danger to our democracy is clear and our role is clear. "

The full vote in the House of Representatives is expected to take place next week. If the House of Representatives approves the sections, as expected, the Republican-controlled Senate will pass a trial examining whether to oust the president from office. However, the likelihood of Trump’s conviction is low in light of the need for a two-thirds majority of the hundred senators. Very few Republicans have been persuaded by the impeachment proceeding against Trump, and they claim he was biased.

Democrats have made rapid progress with the impeachment process since the September 24 investigation began. Democrats say Trump stopped military aid to Kiev, struggling with pro-Russian separatists, to pressure it to investigate Biden, one of its possible rivals next year, and even conditioned it on a state visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zalansky. On the other hand, Republicans blame Democrats for trying to "reverse" the 2016 election results.
It is difficult to assess how the election process will affect the election, in which Democrats will struggle to return to the White House, but each party will try to mobilize it in his favor.

This is the third time in American history that a president is facing an impeachment trial, when in both cases - Bill Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868 - they won the Senate. President Richard Nixon resigned before the congressional trial began, which is expected to be ousted because of the Watergate affair.
