House Democrats have laid out their most comprehensive case yet for impeaching Donald Trump, declaring the president ¡°a clear and present danger¡± over his rush to get foreign governments to investigate a political rival and making his intimidation of witnesses tantamount to a crime.

The report by the House Intelligence Committee on the Democrats¡¯ investigation concluded that Trump abused his power, compromised national security and then tried to cover it up ¡ª findings that make a formal House impeachment vote all but certain.

¡°The evidence of the president¡¯s misconduct is overwhelming, and so too is the evidence of his obstruction of Congress,¡± the report said. ¡°Indeed, it would be hard to imagine a stronger or more complete case of obstruction than that demonstrated by the president since the inquiry began.¡±
