US House votes on impeachment proceedings

US House votes on impeachment proceedings

The US house has today voted in support of beginning impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Whilst the vote is not an impeachment in itself, it does kick off an official enquiry into the president’s involvement in coercing the Ukrainian government into assisting him in gathering information on Joe Biden, a Democratic favourite in the 2020 presidential elections. Trump immediately took to twitter to label the proceedings the biggest witch hunt in American history. Once the investigation is complete the impeachment process will move to the senate for another vote where it is widely expected to fail on account of the senate being in the control of Trumps Republican party.
