New twist in the investigation into dismissal against Donald Trump. Suspected of abuse of power, he would be found guilty "in three minutes chrono" by a jury if he was in court, said Sunday the Democrat leading the work towards the probable impeachment in the US President's Congress.

"We have a concrete file," said CNN Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. "If this file was presented to a jury, a verdict of guilty would be made in three minutes".

According to him, "the accusation in the heart of the case is that the president has placed his interests above those of the country on several occasions and he has asked for the interference of a foreign power in our elections to several times. " This poses "a real danger for the presidential election" of November 2020, he warned.

Several counts could be retained: abuse of power and corruption, obstruction of Congress and obstruction of justice.

This new step accelerates the procedure for a plenary vote in the House on the impeachment of the President, probably before Christmas.

The indictment is still far

It will be necessary before going through a key vote in the judicial commission on these same counts. Mr Nadler did not rule out Sunday that it can be organized by the end of next week.

Given the Democratic majority, Donald Trump will certainly become the third president in history, after Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, indicted in the US Congress.

But he should then be acquitted during the political trial that will be held in the Senate, where Republicans are in the majority and widely support.

Republicans accuse the Democrats of going too fast, with the sole objective of dismissing Donald Trump because they fear not to beat him in the presidential election. The Republican President, he swears to take his revenge at the polls.

If he is indicted in the House, the president will be able to benefit from a "fair procedure" in the Senate at the trial, said his spokesman, hammering that he had "done nothing wrong".

The Republicans will then take the reins of the procedure. Donald Trump wants them to summon a battery of Democrats, including Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
