Trump impeachment: Divisive rhetoric marks eve of House votes

Al Jazeera  

Trump and his fellow Republicans trade jabs with Democrats as US House set to vote on impeachment on Wednesday. “They will not soon forgive your perversion of justice and abuse of power.” The letter, which Trump said he did not expect to change anything but was for the “purpose of history”, came as Republicans and Democrats fought over the rules of debate for Wednesday’s expected impeachment votes. “Tomorrow the House of Representatives will exercise one of the most solemn powers granted to us by the Constitution as we vote to approve two articles of impeachment against the president of the United States,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to fellow Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday. “So, now the Senate Democratic leader would apparently like our chamber to do House Democrats’ homework for them,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “From everything we can tell, House Democrats’ slapdash impeachment inquiry has failed to come anywhere near – anywhere near – the bar for impeaching a duly elected president, let alone removing him for the first time in American history.” But Schumer hit back, accusing McConnell of wanting to use the Senate to help “cover something up”.
