Donald Trump will face a through a political trial

The House of Representatives of the United States decided to approve Thursday the procedures to initiate a political trial against the president of the country, Donald Trump, which opens the door for the process which could begin formally in a few weeks, even before the end of the year.

“The biggest witch hunt in the history of the United States!” Trump said on Twitter just after the vote, in which the Democrats enforced their majority to pass by 232 votes to 196 the rules for public hearings and interrogation of potential witnesses.

“What is at stake is just our democracy,” said the president of the Lower House, Nancy Pelosi, defender of an arduous political process she was reluctant just a few months ago. If it thrives, Trump would be the third president to be tried before Congress.

Only two Democrats have left the official line of the party, while on the Republican side, Justin Amash, a Michigan independent, positioned himself in favor of the ‘impeachment’. The Republican Party bases its allegations against the process in which the Democrats want to expel the president because they are unable to beat him in an election.

“The president has done nothing wrong and the Democrats know that,” the White House said in a statement released after the vote in which they accused Pelosi and his partners of having an “obsession” with an “illegitimate” process that “hurts the American people.”

The Presidency, which urged the Democratic Party to focus on other issues that “really affect families,” denounced an “unacceptable” violation of the House of Representatives’ own regulations to advance this initiative.
