Impeachment charges against President Donald Trump went to the full House on Friday, following approval by the House Judiciary Committee.The House is expected to take up the two articles of impeachment next week.The abuse of power charge stems from Trump's July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president pressuring him to announce an investigation of Democrats as he was withholding U.S. aid. The obstruction charge involves Trump's blocking of House efforts to investigate his actions. Trump has denied wrongdoing.The vote in the House panel was split along party lines, with 23 Democrats voting in favor and 17 Republicans opposed.Trump declared Friday's House committee vote to impeach him "an embarrassment to our country" and refused to back away from the charge that first ensnared him in the scandal."You’re trivializing impeachment when you use it for absolutely nothing other than trying for political gain," Trump said as he sat alongside the president of Paraguay. "It’s a sad thing for the country but a good thing for me politically."Trump, who stands poised to be the first impeached president to run for reelection, insisted impeachment may be a political win. His campaign manager, Brad Parscale, added, "The baseless, sham impeachment is just out-of-control partisan politics and the American people are rejecting it."Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a staunch Trump ally, has said he had no plans for Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has launched an inquiry into Joe Biden and his communications with Ukrainian officials.
