House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump after she caved in to pressure from Democrats.
The announcement is a dramatic move for the Democrats.
Pelosi said, "the president must be held accountable" for the "betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and the betrayal of the integrity of our elections."

"This week, the president has admitted to asking the president of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically," Pelosi said.
"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 investigations under that umbrella."
They never even saw the transcript of the call. A total Witch Hunt!

No one is above the law."
Trump tore into the Democrats in a series of tweets shortly after Pelosi's comments, writing that "PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT" was again in progress.
"Such an important day at the United Nations, so much work and so much success, and the Democrats purposely had to ruin and demean it with more breaking news Witch Hunt garbage," Trump wrote.
"So bad for our Country!"
He added:
"They never even saw the transcript of the call. A total Witch Hunt!"
