Impeachment tracker: House Democrats and impeachment proceedings against Trump
Over 90% of the 235 Democrats in the House of Representatives now either support impeachment proceedings or have signaled they are open to supporting impeachment proceedings against President Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry of Mr. Trump in September soon after he admitted he had asked the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son. On October 31, the House is voting on a resolution establishing the procedures for the impeachment inquiry's next phase, the first time lawmakers will vote on the probe.
Pelosi has said the president's actions represent a betrayal of his oath of office, of national security and of the integrity of U.S. elections.
In late July, the House Judiciary Committee said in a court filing that it was actively considering articles of impeachment related to the special counsel's report, which pointed to ten times Mr. Trump might have obstructed justice during the Russia investigation. The committee has been fighting for access to material redacted from the special counsel's report in order to decide whether to move forward with the process.
Although initially, just a handful of Democrats had called for Mr. Trump's impeachment, a growing number of lawmakers began to consider opening an impeachment inquiry against the president in light of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
While that investigation found that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russia to influence the election, neither did it exonerate the president of obstruction of justice. Mueller identified 11 instances of possible obstruction, but he made no determination on whether the president had obstructed justice, having concluded that doing so would not be in keeping with a legal opinion held by the Justice Department on the treatment of a sitting president.
Attorney General William Barr determined the president did not commit obstruction of justice.
See the list below of the Democratic lawmakers who support impeachment proceedings or have signaled they're open to supporting impeachment proceedings against Mr. Trump.
