Democrats' impeachment report cites Trump obstruction and withholding aid, warns of 'grave harm'
The Democratic-led House Intelligence Committee released a report Tuesday containing a summary of the evidence it has collected in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The 300-page report cited two instances of improper conduct: obstruction of the House inquiry and withholding an official White House meeting and military aid from Ukraine on the condition of investigating a Trump political rival.
On obstruction, which was described as a "campaign of intimidation," the report cast Trump's efforts to "flout" Congress oversight as unprecedented because of his refusal to hand over documents and make certain witness available. But it also noted that "the House gathered overwhelming evidence of his misconduct from courageous individuals who were willing to follow the law."
"No other President has flouted the Constitution and power of Congress to conduct oversight to this extent," the report said......
The report also constructed a timeline of Trump's alleged efforts to withhold military assistance to Ukraine, as well as an official White House meeting with Trump, based on the testimony of various aides and diplomats who have been questioned by impeachment investigators.
