US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The Democratic leader said Trump had betrayed his Oath of Office and undermined national security.
She said ‘This week the president has admitted to asking the president of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically. The actions of the Trump presidency revealed dishonorable fact of the president’s betrayal of his Oath of Office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our national elections. Therefore, today I’m announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I’m directing our six committees to proceed with their investigation under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law’
