Due to a late Thanksgiving holiday Democrats "only have a few weeks" to draw up the Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump according to California Washington Centre's John Lawrence.
Professor Lawrence told Sky News the “general feeling is people would like it to be voted on by the end of the year… but it’s anybody’s guess as they start drafting these solutions”. The Sky News contributor said 67 votes would be needed in the Senate to “convict and remove” the president from office. “While the Democrats in the house only require a majority of votes in order to pass the impeachment resolutions, it’s a very tough climb in the senate”, he said.

Australia is 'almost obliged to give protection' to self-proclaimed spy Wang Liqiang | Sky News AustraliaFormer Labor Advisor Darrin Barnett says the government is “almost obliged to give protection” to self-proclaimed spy Wang Liqiang, despite the Daily Telegraph revealing he may have only been engaged in low level work, which would be of little use to Australia’s security agencies.\n\nAccording to senior members of the Australian Intelligence community it is “highly dubious” that Wang Liqiang, who claimed he was a high-level Chinese spy during a 60 Minutes interview, was “major player in the espionage space,” according to Sky News host and Daily Telegraph journalist Sharri Markson.\n\nMr Barnett said despite Wang's claims being seemingly debunked, Australia does have a responsibility to not send him back to China. \n\n“It is concerning if someone is using what is essentially a vexatious claim to become an Australian citizen, but we do have a sense of obligation to look after people and their humanitarian concerns,' he said. \n\nImage: Getty
