President
Donald Trump is angrily objecting to the House of Representatives’ articles of impeachment, accusing
Democrats of “perversion of justice and abuse of power” in their effort to remove him from office.
In a fiery letter Tuesday to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi on the eve of his expected impeachment, Trump maintained that he did nothing wrong in seeking foreign investigation of political rivals, and he attacked Democrats for focusing on impeachment rather than other issues.
Meanwhile at the Capitol, House Democrats and
Republicans sparred over the rules of debate for Wednesday's historic votes on impeaching Trump, dispatching the lofty rhetoric of constitutional duty for the rugged politics of the House action and
Senate trial that is expected to follow.
