WASHINGTON D.C. —Saying “our democracy is what is at stake,” U-S House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced the drafting of articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

Pelosi says “The president leaves us no choice but to act.”

The historic announcement was delivered as Democrats push toward a vote, possibly by Christmas.

Trump is alleged to have abused the power of his office by engaging in bribery by withholding military aid to Ukraine, and then obstructing Congress by stonewalling the investigation.
