Washington, December 11 (RHC)-- U.S. House Democratic lawmakers unveiled articles of impeachment on Tuesday, charging President Donald Trump with abuse of power and conduct they say presents a “clear and present danger” to national security and the upcoming 2020 election.

The New York Times reports the articles are center on two charges: that Trump violated his oath of office by elevating his personal political concerns over the national interest and that Trump stonewalled congressional attempts to investigate his actions.

The ongoing impeachment inquiry centers on how Trump pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate Trump’s political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter.  This all comes after the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing earlier this week in which two lawyers argued evidence for and against impeachment.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s independent inspector general, Michael Horowitz, released a long-awaited report that concludes the FBI acted without political bias when it opened the investigation into links between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.

The report debunks Trump’s often repeated claims that he was targeted by a politicized conspiracy.  But the report did find serious and systematic problems with the FBI’s wiretapping of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.  The American Civil Liberties Union said: “The concerns the Inspector General identifies apply to intrusive investigations of others, including especially Muslims, and far better safeguards against abuse are necessary.”
