Speaker Pelosi is walking out with the Committee heads for a historic press conference.

Covering it live for @CourthouseNews

@CourthouseNews Pelosi:

"On this solemn day, I recall that the first order of business for members of Congress is the solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

@CourthouseNews With Pelosi are Chairs Jerry Nadler (Judiciary), Adam Schiff (Intelligence), Richard Neal (Ways and Means), Eliot Engel (Foreign Affairs), Maxine Waters (Financial Services), and Carolyn Maloney (Oversight and Reform).

Nadler's up first announcing two articles of impeachment.

@CourthouseNews When Trump places his personal interest above the nation's, Nadler says: "He endangers the Constitution. He endangers our democracy, and he endangers our national security."

@CourthouseNews Early reports were correct:

The articles are abuse of power and obstruction.
