House impeaches Trump over Ukraine pressure campaign
The House formally impeached President Trump on two articles, turning the Ukraine scandal from investigation into constitutional fact. The charge was that he abused his office by pushing a foreign government to help him politically, then obstructed Congress when lawmakers tried to investigate. For a White House that had spent months dismissing the whole thing as a hoax, the vote was a public wrecking ball. It locked in a level of official condemnation that no amount of spin could erase on the same day it happened.
