美 하원, 트럼프 탄핵안 가결...美 역사상 하원의 세번째 '탄핵 대통령'
We start with the big impeachment vote against U.S. President Donald Trump.
As widely expected,... the House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Trump,... and the ball is now in the Senate's court.
Our Yoon Jung-min starts us off.
The majority of the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives approved two articles 'abuse of power' and 'obstruction of Congress' to impeach President Trump on Wednesday night.
After several hours of heated debate,... the first article 'abuse of power' was confirmed by 230 votes for and 197 against.
The second article 'obstruction of Congress' was confirmed with 229 for and 198 against.
With that, Trump became just the third president in U.S. history to be impeached by the House,... following Bill Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868.
The Democrats say President Trump solicited Ukraine to open a politically-motivated investigation against his potential rival for the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden and his son.
"Donald Trump used the high power of the presidency to pressure a foreign nation to besmirch his perceived primary political opponent. He corrupted our elections and compromised our national security so that he could keep power"
"It's a sham, a witch hunt, and is tantamount to a coup against the duly elected President, the United States. This is a sad day for our nation when one political party, along with their cohorts in a deep state and the mainstream media, try to hijack our constitution."
Since the articles of impeachment were approved in the House, President Trump will face a Senate trial,... possibly in January.
It's likely to be a different story in the Senate as Republicans have a majority there.
At least two-thirds of Senators have to vote in favor... for the president to be removed from power.
President Trump has been lashing out at House Democrats on Twitter over the impeachment,... claiming they are telling "atrocious lies."
