Democrats Officially Vote to Move to Next Step of Impeachment Process
In an unsurprising move, the Democrats in the House of Representatives have voted to move ahead with the impeachment of President Trump. After days of closed door meetings discussing the issue, the House voted, mainly along party lines, to begin televised hearings of the impeachment.

President Trump was obviously unhappy with these developments and took to twitter to voice his displeasure with the “witchhunt” that House Democrats are engaging on. He also noted the “impeachment hoax” is hurting the stock market.
