| 0:00.0 | Good evening. I'm Ari Melbert, and welcome back to our MSNBC special series, Impeachment White House in Crisis. Tonight, we join you for the first time since the House Judiciary Committee voted to approve those two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, clearing the way this week for the full House to vote on what would only be the second impeachment of the U.S. president in more than 100 years. Remember, Nixon resigned before he was formally impeached, let alone convicted. |
