Donald Trump impeached for abuse of power, obstructing Congress

Donald Trump became the third US president to be impeached on Wednesday, as the House of Representatives formally charged him with abuse of power in a historic vote.

The Democratic-led House passed the abuse of power article of impeachment on a largely party-line 230-197 vote. The House then proceeded with a vote on the second article of impeachment charging him with obstruction of Congress. The second article was passed by a 229-198 vote.
