Democrats are constructing a case against President Trump that will allow them to draft at least two articles of impeachment based on obstruction of justice and abuse of power.
“At some point in time obviously, we will conclude the information gathering phase and make a determination whether they rise to a place where no one is above the law,†Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, said Tuesday, describing the impeachment process. “Abuse of power, as Hamilton pointed out, was a high crime and misdemeanor.â€
Democrats believe Trump misused his office to try to convince Ukraine government officials to investigate his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.
They also believe Trump has worked to obstruct their investigation by denying access to documents and witnesses subpoenaed by House Democrats in an impeachment investigation they began in late September.
