AP-Trump-Impeachment, ADVISORY
Columbia Basin Herald | UPDATED 6 years, 8 months AGO
Democratic House prosecutors are launching their final arguments on obstruction charges at Donald Trump's impeachment trial. They argued Thursday that he abused his presidential power in his Ukraine dealings and should be convicted because "right matters.” Now they're addressing the second article of impeachment, which says Trump improperly blocked Congress' investigation of his actions. The president's legal team is preparing its defense, expected to start Saturday.
The AP plans the following coverage. For up-to-the minute information on AP's coverage, visit Coverage Plan at https://newsroom.ap.org

TRUMP-IMPEACHMENT-WITNESSES: Republicans appear increasingly unmoved by the Democratic push for witnesses in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial despite the impassioned appeals of Rep. Adam Schiff and the other House prosecutors. Democrats are keeping up the pressure, warning darkly that Republicans will live to regret not delving deeper into the Ukraine evidence. Yet there's no evidence that they are close to convincing four Republicans to break with their party and seek new evidence in a critical vote expected next week.
