AFP, WASHINGTONUS House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday gave the green light to draft articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump, as the embattled president vowed he would “win” the coming fight. By asking the US House Judiciary Committee chairman to draw up the charges, Democrat Pelosi signaled that a formal vote on impeaching the 45th president was all but assured. “Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and a heart full of love for America, today I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment,” Pelosi said in a televised statement. Trump “has engaged in abuse of power, undermined our national security and jeopardized the integrity of our elections,” she said. “No bribery, no extortion, no obstruction of justice and no abuse of power,” McCarthy told reporters.
