Mr. Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming only the third American chief executive to be formally charged under the Constitution s ultimate remedy for high crimes and misdemeanors. The historic vote split along party lines Wednesday night in the U.S., much the way it has divided the nation, over a charge that the 45th president abused the power of his office by enlisting a foreign government to investigate a political rival ahead of the 2020 election.
