What's the story?

The House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in regards to his conduct with Ukraine.
The party-line 23-17 vote completes the House committees' impeachment activity. The full House will hold a floor vote next week, likely on Wednesday, though the timeline could still change.
\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.
During the 14 hours of Judiciary debate about altering the articles, each of the five amendments introduced by Republicans were struck down by the committee. A single changed passed: substituting \"Donald John Trump\" for \"Donald J. Trump.\"
On Thursday, a day before the Judiciary's vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) that there was \"no chance\" the president would be removed from office.

“The case is so darn weak coming from the House,” McConnell said in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. “We know how it's going to end. There's no chance the president's going to be removed from office.”
