2:19Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Rep. Norma J. Torres, D-Calif., told her fellow lawmakers during a House Rules Committee that she “did not come to Congress to impeach a president.” Torres said she attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration “in good faith” but said lawmakers should not “turn a blind eye” to improper behavior. Republicans have criticized Democrats for what they see as repeated attempts to remove Trump from office since he was elected. The House Rules Committee met on Dec. 17 to determine the rules that will govern the full House vote on the articles of impeachment against Trump. The two articles charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote is slated for Dec. 18.
