Announcement of the articles of impeachment would follow a marathon day of hearings on President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
ADVERTISEMENTDemocrats plan to announce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide told NBC News on Monday night.
The House Judiciary Committee heard from lawyers for both parties for more than nine hours on findings from the Intelligence Committee's impeachment inquiry over allegations that Trump withheld aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
The Democratic aide said the articles would be announced at a news conference on Tuesday morning.
The Washington Post, citing three officials, reported Monday night that the two articles were expected to allege abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. NBC News hasn't confirmed the report.
