Late night impeachment debate in US Congress

(12 Dec 2019) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus128026 The House Judiciary Committee took the first steps Wednesday evening toward voting on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, beginning a marathon two-day session to consider the historic charges with a lively prime-time hearing at the Capitol. Democrats and Republicans used the otherwise procedural meeting to deliver sharp, poignant and, at times, personal arguments for and against impeachment. Both sides appealed to Americans' sense of history - Democrats describing a strong sense of duty to stop what one called the president’s “constitutional crime spree” and Republicans decrying the impeachment and what it means for the future of the country. Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island asked Republicans standing by Trump to “wake up” and honor their oath of office. Republican Matt Gaetz of Florida called the impeachment "hot garbage." The committee is considering two articles of impeachment introduced by Democrats. They charge Trump with abuse of power for asking Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden while withholding aid as leverage, and obstruction of Congress for stonewalling the House's investigation. On Thursday, the committee will likely vote to send the articles to the full House, which is expected to vote next week. of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
