The House has released a resolution impeaching President Trump on two counts: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The document, titled, “Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors,” was released to the public on Tuesday after a press conference featuring House leadership.
“Using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election,” the document reads regarding the first count. “He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 United States Presidential election to his benefit.”
The second count accuses Trump of directing “the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its ‘sole Power of Impeachment.'”
“President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States,” it concludes.
