Week 152: December 15-21 (Impeachment Week 12)

Trump submitted a letter Tuesday night, on the eve of his impeachment: “Fortunately, there was a transcript of the conversation taken, and you know from the transcript (which was immediately made available) that the paragraph in question was perfect. I said to President Zelensky: “I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.” I said do us a favor, not me, and our country, not a campaign.”

The full House impeached Trump Wednesday night. No Republicans voted for either article. Two democrats voted against the first article, and three voted against the second.

Pelosi announced that the House will not send the articles to the Senate for trial, and she will not name impeachment managers, until the Senate presents its plan for a trial.

Trump’s job approval: 43.3%
