The next phase of Donald Trump's impeachment hearings begins next week, when members of
Congress will discuss whether the president's alleged abuses of power constitute "high crimes and misdemeanours".The phrase, as outlined in the US Constitution, has primed the debate between

Republicans who argue that despite several witness testimonies corroborating Mr Trump's pressure on
Ukraine to investigate his political rivals in exchange for receiving military aid, none of it resembles either a high crime or a misdemeanour.
