Donald Trump’s legal team is considering whether House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to delay sending articles of impeachment to the
Senate could allow the president to claim he has not actually been impeached despite the historic vote.On Wednesday, the House voted to approve articles of impeachment against a sitting president for only the third time in US history, charging Mr Trump with abuse of power for allegedly withholding $391m in military aid to
Ukraine in order to force that country’s president to announce investigations into former vice president
Joe Biden and a conspiracy theory which posits that Ukraine — not
Russia — interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
