Washington/Sputnik/IBNS: Democrats on the US House of Representatives will introduce two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler told reporters on Tuesday.

"Today the House Judiciary Committee is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the President... with committing high crimes," Nadler said during the news conference.

"The first article - for abuse of power... The second article of impeachment - for obstruction of Congress," added Nadler.

The Judiciary Committee will meet later this week to consider these articles and to make recommendations to the full House of Representatives, Nadler said.

Last week, the House of Representatives Speaker had informed that she has instructed the House Judiciary Committee to draft articles of impeachment against Trump in connection to his act to pressurize Ukraine to probe a political rival.

The Judiciary Committee had also held a hearing in which Democratic Lawmakers appointed constitutional law experts said Trump had engaged in offences which amount to impeachment under the Constitution.
