The California Democrat said the House has gathered evidence from weeks of testimony that shows the president abused his office and obstructed Congress in an effort to undermine his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.
“The president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again, the election for his own personal benefit,” Pelosi said. “Today, I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment.”
Pelosi’s announcement comes after weeks of public and private testimony from current and former Trump administration officials.
