Here is the Democrats' case for removing Trump from office, and the
Republican counter-argument.
In their articles of impeachment https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres755/BILLS-116hres755ih.pdf ,
Democrats charge that Trump abused his power as president by pressuring the government of
Ukraine to help him win re-election.
At the heart of the impeachment case is a transcript of a July 25 telephone call in which Trump pressed Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to work with U.S. Attorney General
William Barr and Trump's personal attorney,
Rudy Giuliani, to launch a corruption investigation into former Vice President
Joe Biden, a top contender for the
Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
