Donald Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives, making him just the third president in
American history to receive such a rebuke.The House, voting largely upon party lines, charged him on Wednesday night after hours of debate with abusing the power of his office in attempting to extort a political favour from
Ukraine and obstructing the subsequent congressional investigation into his conduct. Just as votes were cast, Mr Trump began a rally of his in Michigan, where he mocked the proceedings against him, and the
Democrats behind the effort.
