By Lalit K JhaWashington, Jul 13 (PTI) A US lawmaker has introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump charging him of obstruction of justice in the federal investigation of the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. This is for the first time that a US lawmaker has introduced an article of impeachment against Trump, who was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20. "Recent disclosures by Donald Trump Jr. indicate that Trumps campaign was eager to receive assistance from Russia. "I believe his conversations with, and subsequent firing of, FBI Director James Comey constitute Obstruction of Justice," Sherman said after introducing the article of impeachment against Trump. As the investigations move forward, additional evidence supporting additional Articles of Impeachment may emerge, he noted.
