The speaker of the American House of Congress representatives Nancy Pelosi announced the beginning of the impeachment procedure to Donald Trump President. This was reported on her Twitter.
“I announce that the House of Representatives is beginning an official investigation as part of the impeachment procedure. I give an indication to six committees to start conducting my own investigations, ”Peloshi told the video.
The speaker explained that the chamber would consider whether Trump was addressed for help from Ukraine to investigate John Biden, a probable candidate from the Democratic Party in the 2020 presidential election and competitor to Trump . According to her, this violates the US Constitution.
Trump himself called what was happening "witch hunt." “Such an important day at the UN, such a lot of work and such a great success. And the democrats intentionally decided to spoil and discredit it with the help of news about witch hunting. This is so bad for our country. They did not even see the decoding of the conversation [with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky], ”Trump wrote.
Prior to this, Trump ordered to publish the transcript of his conversation with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. This happened after the representatives of the Democratic Party in the Chamber accused Trump of that he threatened to suspend financial assistance to Kyiv during this conversation if the Ukrainian authorities did not begin an investigation against Bayden and his son.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vadim Zabeko said that Trump did not provide pressure on Zelensky , and "the conversation was long, was friendly, and it concerned many questions, sometimes to which it was necessary to have quite serious answers."
According to the BBC, the impeachment previously had to declare almost two -thirds of the Democrats in the lower house of Congress. The publication notes that not a single US president has been shifted from his post as a result of impeachment.
