Trump Impeachment Advances as Historic Vote Sends Case to House

The Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday recommended the impeachment of President Donald Trump over his dealings with the government of Ukraine. The full House is to take up the matter next week. If the Democratic-controlled chamber votes to impeach, it will make Trump the third president in American history to face the ultimate constitutional sanction. Any trial before the Senate would take place in the new year. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court agreed to consider whether Trump’s financial records can remain private, or whether Congress and a state grand jury get a peek.
