09 December 2019Enters the procedure that could lead to the indictment of the president of the United States. The hearing of the House of Justice Commission, held to analyze the evidence on the Ukraine case gathered so far in the impeachment procedure, is very expected and delicate.

The Democrats' lawyer: "Three impeachment crimes"
"Donald Trump would have committed not one but" three impeachment crimes ". This is what the Democrats' lawyer in the committee, Barry Berke, said. During his speech in which he is analyzing the evidence gathered so far in the Ukraine case, Berke used the term "trifecta ', tris or terzina, to indicate the number of impeachment crimes. "The Founding Fathers - he explained - had set the three behaviors that could lead to the indictment: abuse of power, betrayal of national interests and manipulation of the elections. What is extraordinary is that the conduct we are discussing does not violate one of these, but all three ".

"Overwhelming evidence against the president of the United States"
According to Berke there are "overwhelming rove against the president of the United States". "The facts - he added - are incontrovertible and cannot be disputed. The president did what a president of our nation is not allowed to do". His actions, he concluded, "threaten our laws, our institutions and our Republic".

The Democrats argue that President Donald Trump has put pressure on Kiev to get an investigation open on Joe Biden and his son Hunter, in order to gain a personal political advantage.

To the hard intervention of the president of the commission, the democrat Jerrold Nadler, who accused Trump of "having put himself before the interests of the country", replied the republican representatives. "The Democrats - said Conservative committee member Doug Collins - want to indict the president because they know that if they do not, he will win again in the next elections".

The Republicans have asked to be able to listen to the witnesses indicated by the minority, but also asked why the president of the Intelligence commission, the democrat Adam Schiff, was not called to testify. In recent days, Trump, who considers Schiff his greatest adversary, had called for the summons, supported in a compact way by the members of his party.

Republican lawyer: "No proof"
"Trump has not abused his power nor obstructed the congress, there is no evidence," said Stephen Castor, the lawyer who on behalf of the Republicans explains to the justice commission of the chamber the arguments against the state in mass accusation of the US president. "The Democrats want to impeach him because they do not agree with his policies," he added.
