The House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against President Trump, setting up a vote by the full chamber next week.
Trump insisted to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he didn’t care about the length of the trial.Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s lawyer who arrived at the White House shortly before Friday’s vote, sent a text message saying, “either way it’s bull.”
“If Senator McConnell is saying there’s no chance that there’s a conviction and he’s coordinating with the White House, he essentially has surrendered the constitutional mandate that the Senate conduct a trial,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin . After weeks of investigations, public hearings and nightly sniping on cable news, the final marathon session in the Judiciary Committee featured the most direct confrontation yet between members of Congress over whether Trump’s actions merit impeachment and removal from office.
“No matter what they threw at the wall, no matter what spaghetti they were throwing at the wall, it wasn’t sticking because it’s not real,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal said of Republican attempts to derail the process. “And so I think we just have to continue to bring it back to the facts.”
