The latest on the Trump impeachment inquiry

The House Judiciary Committee will meet tomorrow morning to debate and vote on the articles of impeachment, which is expected to be long and contentious.

Starting at 9 a.m. ET, the meeting will contain plenty of debate, theatrics and arguing over the procedure. Democrats hold a 24-17 majority on the committee, meaning they can vote down any GOP attempt to change the impeachment articles, making Republicans' only real weapon in the proceedings the ability to extend the debate indefinitely.

Regarding the articles of impeachment: Democrats introduced two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, charging that the President should be removed from office for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The House Judiciary Committee is expected to approve those articles of impeachment on Thursday after considering amendments, sending them to the House floor for a vote next week that could make Trump the third president in US history to be impeached.
