The other major news tonight, that historic next step in the impeachment showdown. Democrats putting forward two articles of impeachment. They allege abuse of power and obstruction of congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi setting a solemn tone today, saying President Trump left them no choice, saying their oath of office requires them to impeach. The president calling it political madness, saying he did nothing wrong. But the democrats say the president abused his powers to on stain an improper personal political benefit, detrailing the nation. So, how soon could he be impeached . Abcs terry moran tonight up on the hill. Reporter a fateful step under Speaker Nancy Pelosis watchful eye, House Democrats declare they will impeach President Trump. The House Committee on the judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the president of the United States, donald j. Trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors. Reporter the two articles those are the charges against the president abuse of power in his dealings with ukraine and obstruction of congress. On abuse of power, the charge that donald trump ignored and injured the interests of the nation. And betrayed the nation by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections. On obstruction of congress, the charge that trump, without lawful cause or excuse, rejected every subpoena or request for evidence, the article declaring, in the history of the republic, no president has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry. No one, not even the president , is above the law. Reporter democrats are moving fast, some say too fast. Their answer to that today was stark. The argument, why dont you just wait, amounts to this why dont you just let him cheat in one more election . Why not let him cheat just one more time . Reporter the articles of impeachment concluding President Trump has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the constitution if allowed to remain in office. We would be delinquent in honoring our oath of office if we did not impeach him for not honoring his oath of office. Reporter Republican LeadersBacking Trump to the hilt. It is not difficult to defend this president , but it is very difficult to defend this congress on what they have done and history will not be kind to them. Reporter so i asked him, does he defend the president s phone call with president zelensky of ukraine, asking zelensky to investigate joe b e biden and hunter biden . Do you agree with the president that that call was perfect . Thats what we want president s to do . They just entered two articles and your question about is it perfect . No, the question is, is it impeachable . The answer is absolutely no. Reporter late today, the president speaking out. We did nothing wrong. There was absolutelyothing done wrong. I think its a disgrace that people can make impeachment out of nothing. So, lets get to terry moran, live up on the hill tonight. And the house now on track to impeach President Trump by the end of next week. They had said they wanted to do this before christmas. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell on the senate side, of course, already looking ahead to the senate trial. Reporter he is, david. Mitch mcconnell says, first, no trial in the senate this year, that will take place in january. He says it will work like this, theyll first be opening arguments from representatives from the house of representatives andhe white house lawyers, facing off over the charges. At that point, mcconnell says, the senate could vote and end it. He is looking for a limited and orderly process. The white house, President Trump, seems to want a show, a much longer process. Well see who gets the upper hand here. David . All right, terry moran, thank you. And, of course, all of this playing out today as President Trump took aim at his own handpicked fbi director. Just 24 hours after fbi director Christopher Wray told abc news there was no deep state, no spying on the Trump Campaign, a notion backed up by the inspector general, finding no ant antitrump bias in the russia investigation. The president was not happy with either of them. Heres abcs chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl tonight. Reporter President Trump took aim at fbi director Christopher Wray just 24 hours after wray spoke with abcs pierre thomas. Do you have any evidence that the fbi targeted the Trump Campaign unfairly . I dont. Reporter wray was reacting to the internal Justice Department investigation that criticized actions of lower level fbi officials, but concluded the probe of russia and the Trump Campaign was launched properly and without political bias. I dont know what report current director of the fbi Christopher Wray was reading, the president tweeted, but it sure wasnt the one given to me. Wray also rejected another frequent claim by the president and his allies. Is the fbi was it part of some deep state . Well, i think thats the kind of label that is a disservice to the 37,000 men and women who work at the fbi. Reporter the interview clearly didnt please the president , who tweeted, with that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the fbi. It all comes on a day President Trump welcomed Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov to the white house, tweeting out this picture from the oval office saying election meddling was among the many issues they discussed. And secretary of state mike pompeo said he delivered his own warning to lavrov. I was clear, its unacceptable and i made our expectations of russia clear. So, lets bring in Jonathan Karl, live at the white house tonight. And jon, youre learning more about that conversation between President Trump and the Russian Foreign minister . Reporter david, the white house has put out an official statement about that meeting, saying, quote, President Trump warned against any russian attempts to interfere in United States elections. But just a short while ago, lavrov himself spoke to reporters here in washington and was asked directly about the white house statement and lavrov said this, quote, we havent even actually discussed elections.
