The House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jerry Nadler, announced the launch of an impeachment inquiry on Wednesday. The investigation will focus on allegations that the President improperly used his office for personal gain and obstructed justice.
The inquiry is expected to include witness testimony, document reviews, and public hearings. If the committee votes to approve articles of impeachment, the full House will consider whether to impeach the President.
A majority vote in the House is required to impeach the President. The Senate would then hold a trial, requiring a two-thirds supermajority to remove the President from office.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement calling the inquiry "politically motivated" and "an abuse of power."
