2016 ELECTION/DEMS/IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “House Democrats on Tuesday [12-3-19] asserted that President Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to help him in the 2020 presidential election, releasing an impeachment report that found the president ‘placed his own personal and political interests above the national interests of the United States.’ The report by the House Intelligence Committee was a sweeping indictment of the president’s behavior, concluding that he sought to undermine American democracy and endangered national security, then worked to conceal his actions from Congress. Democrats left it to another committee to decide whether to recommend Mr. Trump’s impeachment, but their report presented what are all but certain to be the grounds on which the House votes to formally charge him.”
