Donald Trump

A majority of House now support impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. This is a significant milestone as Democrats move quickly on an impeachment inquiry.

218 lawmakers have indicated support for impeachment proceedings as of Wednesday night.

According to POLITICO, Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered full-throated support for impeachment proceedings amid outrage over Trump pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Biden family.

Until this week, the bulk of impeachment inquiry backers cited the results of former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump campaign links to Russia, and whether Trump attempted to obstruct the probe, reported POLITICO, but Ukraine twist has consolidated support for the impeachment.
