Report of the Committee on the Judiciary: Impeachment of Donald J. Trump President of the United States

This is the Report of the Committee on the Judiciary regarding the Impeachment of Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. This report accompanies House Resolution 755 and was released on December 16th, 2019.

The House Committee on the Judiciary has completed the consideration of two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump. The first article charges that the President used the powers of his office to solicit and pressure a foreign government, Ukraine, to investigate his domestic political rival and interfere in the upcoming United States Presidential elections. The second article charges that the President categorically obstructed the Congressional impeachment inquiry into his conduct. Taken together, the articles charge that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our system of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked. Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office.
