Issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass. Inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. Welcome to inside politics. Im john king. To our viewers in the United States and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. The president of the United States was impeached this past week. Charged with violating his oath of office by abusing his powers and obstructing congress. There is no reason to believe he will be convicted and removed from office once the senate does its part and holds an impeachment trial.

That uncertainty is because of a dispute about trial rules and because of a fascinating impeachment politics sub plot, a test of wills between two of washingtons most powerful and disciplined players, nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell.
