Donald Trump was impeached as president by U.S House of Representatives for abusing his powers and obstructing Congress.
Trump was accused of pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the president's political rival and former vice president, Joe Biden.

The president was also accused of obstructing congress's investigation into his conduct.

Although he has been impeached by the House of Representatives, Trump still remains in office until his impeachment is approved by the upper house of the American legislature, the Senate

The charged against Trump was spearheaded by the Democratic-led House of Representatives under Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Speaking on the impeachment, Pelosi said Trump gave Democrats no choice but to pursue impeachment.

She described Trump as an ongoing threat to America's national security and the integrity of the U.S elections.


Speaker Nancy Pelosi led the impeachment proceedings that led to the ouster of Donald Trump as president.
Meanwhile, the president is not expected to be removed from office immediately as he now has to face trial at the Senate.

A two-thirds majority at the Senate is required to convict and oust him.This means 67 out of 100 senators.

The Republicans control the 100-seat chamber with a 53-47 majority. So, the president is widely expected to be acquitted.

Recall that it had reported that Trump was expected to be impeached in the next few hours as the country's House of Representatives commenced debates on the fate of his presidency.

Trump was charged by the Democratic-led House of Representatives for obstruction of Congress and abuse of power related to his dealings with Ukraine.

It had also reported that Trump pleaded with all Americans and foreigners alike to pray for him over the impeachment move against him by lawmakers in the country.

Nadal digs deep to win the US Open

It seemed that Rafael Nadal was cruising to victory in the 2019 US Open final against Daniil Medvedev, but the Russian came back from two sets down to force a fifth set and that's when the world number two eventually got the job done. Nadal won the match in New York 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, a contest that lasted four hours and 48 minutes. It was an incredible match, with Medvedev doing a brilliant job to stay in it after Nadal won a tight first set and a more comfortable second set. The Spaniard even led 3-1 in the third, but Medvedev was able to keep firing and he embarked on a run that took Nadal some time to stop. Nadal broke his opponent in a 28-shot rally to go 3-2 up in the decisive set, but the drama wasn't done there. They each lost their serve once more, before Nadal served for his fourth US Open championship - and eventually sealed the deal.
