Summary

The speaker of the House cited "allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption" in his reasoning to direct House committees to begin the proceedings, which will start at a date to be determined. The White House called it a "political stunt" in a statement, and not all Republican lawmakers are on board with the idea just yet.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez.

This episode was produced by Casey Morell and Elena Moore. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
