Pelosi Says House is Drafting Articles of Impeachment Against Trump Ken Bredemeier WASHINGTON - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday asked the chairman of Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee to "proceed with articles of impeachment" against President Donald Trump, declaring that he has "abused the power of his office." Pelosi's televised statement came a day after three U.S. constitutional scholars told Congress that the U.S. leader committed impeachable offenses by pushing Ukraine to open investigations to benefit him politically. An expert called by Trump's Republican backers, however, argued there is insufficient evidence to impeach the president. .
