Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House of Representatives is pushing ahead with plans to impeach President Donald Trump. The House was moving forward to draft articles of impeachment, a milestone moment and only the fourth time in US history that Congress has tried to remove a president. ''Our democracy is what is at stake...the president leaves us no choice but to act," Ms Pelosi said.
Ms Pelosi argued that "no one is above the law" and Mr Trump's actions were a "violation of the public trust and constitution". At the heart of the battle is Mr Trump's request in July that Ukraine launch an investigation targeting former vice president Joe Biden, a front-runner to win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and a possible future rival for the White House.
