December 18, a great day for the Constitution of the United States, a sad one for America, that the president's reckless activities necessitated us having to introduce articles of impeachment.
ADAM SCHIFF: The President of the United States has been impeached for, now, only the third time in history. The President of the United states should be tried. And the question is now whether Senator McConnell will allow a fair trial in the Senate. Do the senators want to hear from the witnesses? Do they want a real trial? We have to hope that they do.
The reason we undertook this extraordinary step is because the president not only abused his office but threatens to abuse it again, threatens to interfere again by inviting foreign interference in our election. The remedy isn't complete as long as the president is free to continue to invite foreign interference in our affairs.
