Democratic leaders on Tuesday announced two articles of impeachment against President Trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Both articles stem from the Ukraine scandal, in which Trump threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine in exchange for its investigation of his political rivals.

We’ll review the latest developments and answer your questions.
