View in browser Article II: Inside Impeachment Podcast - a new episode! Listen now DECEMBER 13, 2019 The House Judiciary Committee, in a historic vote that fell along party lines, approved articles of impeachment Friday against President Donald Trump, charging he abused his power as president and obstructed Congress. "Today is a solemn and sad day," Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said after the vote in brief remarks. The measures will most likely be voted on by the full House on Wednesday.
"It's a very sad thing for our country, but it seems to be very good for me politically," President Trump told reporters at the White House Friday before a meeting with the president of Paraguay. He claimed "the polls have gone through the roof for Trump."
Reports Shannon Pettypiece and Adam Edelman: But the weight of impeachment appeared to still be weighing on [President Trump]. He said he watched "quite a bit" of the proceedings yesterday, calling the members of the media reporting on the Ukraine controversy "bad people, sick people." He said Democrats are “making fools of themselves,” and warned of payback.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear President Trump's appeal of lower court orders, now on hold, that require his banks and accountants to turn over financial records to the House and local prosecutors in New York.

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED
From MSNBC Daily reader Holly from Oregon: There's a statue in the congressional building that MSNBC reporters always stand in front of. Who is this statue? I've been wondering forever. Thanks tons!
Alex Moe, NBC News Capitol Hill producer: The statue is of actor and entertainer Will Rogers.
According to the White House Historical Association, the statue represents the state of Oklahoma in the National Statuary Hall. Tradition maintains it is good luck to rub his shoes while passing.
