Jeff Van Drew’s opponent of his party’s attempt to raise an impeachment against Trump.
the Van Drew was one of just two democrats, as the 31. October in the House of Representatives voted against opening an investigation into the Trump, as now seems to result in an impeachment.
on Friday decided the legal affairs Committee in the House of Representatives by a vote to recommend impeachment of Trump.
the Decision means that the entire House of Representatives must now vote on whether to raise an impeachment against Trump. This is expected to happen Wednesday of next week, sources in The Democratic Party said.
the Democrats have a majority in the House of Representatives, while the Republicans have the majority in the Senate. Jeff Van Drews switch does not change the balance of power in the House of Representatives.
A possible impeachment against Trump will be the third against a sitting president in UNITED states history.
An impeachment does not take place in the courts, but in the Senate. If there is an impeachment against Trump, it is expected in January.
A spokesperson from The White House said on Friday that the president “looks forward to in the Senate to get proper treatment and fair trial.”
the Case arose because of a telephone call, which Trump had with the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenskij, in July.
Donald Trump is accused of attempting to push Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden and his son for corruption.
the Democrat Biden is one of the Trumps political rivals and among the favorites to be the Democratic candidate in the presidential election next year.
