(CNN) - Democratic leaders announced Tuesday that they would present two charges of political trial against President Donald Trump, accusing the president of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress that establishes the third political trial of a US president in history.

Democrats accuse President Trump of abusing his post by pressing Ukraine to investigate his political rivals before the 2020 elections while holding a meeting at the White House and $ 400 million in US security assistance from Kiev. And they say Trump later obstructed the investigation of his misconduct with a general citation block and refused to allow senior key officials to testify before Congress.

Late on Monday night, House Democrats announced a press conference on Tuesday to share the next steps in the political trial investigation.

In a private meeting, Monday night, with House President Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team, Democrats discussed also including another charge of obstruction of justice detailing the accusations in the Mueller report. While there are advocates for this approach, a source familiar with the discussions said it seemed that obtaining the necessary votes to approve the charge of obstruction of justice outside the House could be difficult, as moderate Democrats have resisted going further. beyond the limited scope of the Ukraine issue.

But even if the Democrats don't include a separate charge on the obstruction of justice, they are expected to include references to Mueller's accusations in the other charges to show that Trump's misconduct was part of a broader pattern, according to sources. .
