Trump Impeached

He is a step closer to being removed from office. Donald Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives, becoming only the third US president to suffer the ignominy. Two articles of impeachment were passed over his behaviour in the Ukraine scandal early today - one for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of Congress. It means a trial in the Senate will decide on whether to convict Mr Trump and remove him from the White House. Addressing supporters at a rally in Michigan as the historic debate was held, Mr Trump was dismissive and defiant. US Editor Ben Riley-Smith explains the fateful phone call that led to this moment. What next? Rozina Sabur outlines the impeachment process.
