Good evening. It's now all but certain President Donald J. Trump will be impeached.

0:04.7

And whatever you think of him, his conduct or the allegations against him, what House

0:08.2

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in motion this morning likely sealed this day in history.

0:13.3

Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and a heartful

1:31.8
