House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told reporters the articles affirm that no one, not even the President, is above the law.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump has endangered US democracy and security, and the House will soon vote on the articles to impeach President Trump.

Mr. Trump called the impeachment “funny” and reiterated that he is the victim of a “witch hunt”.
