senior Democrats in United States House of Representatives reportedly approached Republicans on December 15, urged m to put aside ir Party stance and vote in favour of US President Donald Trump's impeachment. As Democrat-controlled US House has passed two impeachment charges against Trump of 'abuse of power' and 'obstruction to Congress' on December 14, Trump is expected to become only third US President to be impeached.
It has been reportedly speculated that since charges will w be presented for a vote in Republican-controlled US Senate, Trump is likely to still escape his impeachment. However, Democrats are w seeking support of Republicans as y only have 47 seats in 100-seat Senate. House Intelligence Committee Chairman am Schiff said in an interview with international media that Trump poses 'a clear and present danger'.
