Breaking news: Donald Trump has been impeached for the third time by the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote was extremely close and mostly along party lines, with a few Republicans joining Democrats.
This impeachment comes during a period of intense legal and political pressure on Trump, including court rulings against his administration, accusations of defying judges, and controversies involving his attorney general. According to reports, Trump reacted angrily, lashing out at aides and lawmakers as the vote happened.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said impeachment became unavoidable after recent events, especially concerns about Trump’s actions toward other branches of government.
Now, the process moves to the Senate, where a trial will decide whether Trump is removed from office. Conviction would require a two-thirds majority, which is uncertain.
Historically, this is unprecedented—no U.S. president has ever been impeached three times. Regardless of the Senate outcome, this moment marks a major turning point in American political history.
