Democrats plan to announce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide told NBC News on Monday night.
The House Judiciary Committee heard from lawyers for both parties for more than nine hours on findings from the Intelligence Committee's impeachment inquiry over allegations that Trump withheld aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
The Democratic aide said the articles would be announced at a news conference on Tuesday morning.
The Washington Post, citing three officials, reported Monday night that the two articles were expected to allege abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. NBC News hasn't confirmed the report.

Poster comment:
According to WAPO report, the chairmen of the committees will announce specific articles at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, and a vote could be taken as early as Thursday. The source was cited as House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.).
In sum, the Judiciary Committee called zero fact witnesses. There were three law professors who gave sworn testimony, but each testified that he or she had no personal knowledge of any material fact in the report.
The report contains a disclaimer that it is not necessarily the opinion of the Committee, or any member of the Committee.
And the Committee took sworn and unsworn testimony from the three attorneys today.
While House Rule XI (j)(1) provides, "(j)(1) Whenever a hearing is conducted by a committee on a measure or matter, the minority members of the committee shall be entitled, upon request to the chair by a majority of them before the completion of the hearing, to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon." Chairman Nadler has so far defied GOP efforts to avail themselves of that mandatory entitlement.
Some reports indicate that the two charges will be abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The story that the articles will be announced is also on Fox, CNN, WAPO.
