by Countable's Trump Impeachment Coverage | 12.13.19

UPDATE - December 12, 11:20 p.m.

14-plus hours wasn't enough.
Even after a marathon debate session, the House Judiciary Committee still hasn't approved two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) abruptly called a recess at 11:12 pm ET Thursday night.
Ranking member Doug Collins (R-GA) leapt from his seat, and accused Nadler of postponing the vote for better media coverage.
\"The chairman just ambushed the entire committee,\" Collins shouted. \"Crap like this, this is why people have such a terrible view of Congress.\"
Nadler tried to calm his exhausted colleagues (and journalists waiting to write an intro for their daily newsletter), saying he was calling for a break because it had been \"a long two days of consideration of these articles, and it is now very late at night.\"
They'll be a final vote Friday on whether Trump abused his power and obstructed Congress in regards to his conduct with Ukraine.

Countable's earlier coverage appears below.

The House Judiciary Committee is working towards approving articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in regards to his conduct with Ukraine.
It's expected the articles will be approved and sent to the House floor for a full chamber vote next week.
\nDemocrats are trying to build a case that Trump leveraged military and diplomatic aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory alleging Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. Republicans, meanwhile, argue that Trump committed no offenses worthy of impeachment.

This is an ongoing story and will be updated.
