WASHINGTON, January 14. /TASS/. Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday signed the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

"Today <…> the House demonstrated that no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States. Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. And once again we honored our oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the United States," she said before signing the document.

The resolution on the impeachment was then delivered to the Senate, where Trump is to face trial on charges of inciting insurrection.

Earlier in the day, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted to impeach Republican President Donald Trump on the charge of inciting a violent insurrection.
