House committee delays historic vote on Trump impeachment

(AP) Approval of two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump is expected Friday in the House Judiciary Committee. Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler abruptly delayed action on the historic vote late Thursday night.

Committee members clashed all day Thursday. The panel slogged for more than 14 hours through debate that split sharply along party lines.

Republicans insisted on lengthy debate and votes on a series of amendments aimed at killing the charges against Trump. They won no Democratic support and had no hope of winning any.

The panel is expected to send the charges to the full House for action next week. Trump denies doing anything wrong.
