White House Reacts To Trump’s Impeachment By US House

The White House has condemned the “illegitimate articles of impeachment” used by the US House of Representatives to remove President Donald Trump .

Naijaparry reports that on Wednesday the lower chamber impeached Trump , making him the third US president in history to be impeached.

This has set up a trial in the Senate that will decide whether he remains in office.

The House voted that the president abused his power – the first of two impeachment charges against him.

The 230-197 vote fell along party lines with most Democrats voting for the charge and all Republicans against.

Trump now faces a vote on a second charge – obstruction of Congress.
