House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced the US House is drafting articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. 9News
At the core of the impeachment probe is a July call with the president of Ukraine, in which Mr Trump pressed the leader to investigate Democrats and political rival Joe Biden as the White House was withholding military aid to the country bordering an aggressive Russia.
The GOP leader of the House, Kevin McCarthy, said Ms Pelosi was "more concerned about tearing the president down than building the country up.'' Republican are standing lock-step with Mr Trump, unwilling to be swayed that his actions amount to wrongdoing, let alone impeachable offences, leaving Democrats to go it alone in a campaign to consider removing the 45th president from office.
Pulling from the House's investigation, Democrats are focusing on at least three areas that could result in two to five articles, they say.
