Trump gets impeached for power abuse
source: PAP

The House of Representatives on Wednesday impeached President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, making him the third president in US history to be charged with committing high crimes and misdemeanors and face removal by the Senate.
 
Now the case will go to the US Senate, where Republicans have a majority, and it is very likely that they will not decide to remove Trump from office.
 
The other two presidents to have been indicted are Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton (Richard Nixon resigned before he suffered the consequences). Both Johnson and Clinton were acquitted during the Senate trial.
