House Speaker Pelosi Accuses Trump of Bribery, an Impeachable Offense
---------------------------------------------------------------------

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday ratcheted up pressure on
lawmakers to impeach Donald Trump, accusing the president of attempting
to bribe Ukraine's leaders to investigate Trump's political rival Joe
Biden and his son. 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "The bribe is to grant or withhold military
assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into
the elections. That's bribery. Yes."

Bribery is specifically mentioned as an impeachable offense in the U.S.
Constitution.
