House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled two articles of impeachment against President Trump — one for abuse of power and one for obstruction of Congress.
What's next: The House Judiciary Committee will mark up and vote on the two articles this week, before sending them to the House for a full floor vote before Christmas.
Between the lines: Much has been made about the Democrats' decision not to draft an article of impeachment for obstruction of justice related to Trump's conduct during the Mueller investigation.
