WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. House is taking a big, new step toward impeaching President Donald Trump. Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday that the House will draft formal articles of impeachment accusing Trump of abusing the powers of his office to advance his own political gain. A vote in the full House could come before Christmas, sending the issue to the Senate. Trump tweeted that if the House Democrats are going to impeach him, he wants them to “do it now, fast”‘ so he can get on to the Senate trial. Pelosi declared that the case is all about Russia, which benefited most from Trump’s actions toward Ukraine.
