US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaker\u00a0Nancy Pelosi<\/a>\u00a0announced that the US House of Representatives would begin a formal impeachment inquiry into\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, setting the stage for an extraordinary constitutional clash over allegations that the president sought the help of a foreign country to harm a political rival, the Guardian is reporting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the constitution,\u201d Pelosi said in a formal address in Washington on Tuesday evening. \u201cThe president must be held accountable. No one is above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Impeachment is a rare and dramatic escalation<\/a>\u00a0that will reshape Trump\u2019s already norm-shattering presidency as he seeks re-election. It is also freighted with political risks in a nation deeply divided over this president.<\/p>\n

Trump delivered a bellicose response on Twitter, accusing Democrats of \u201cpresidential harassment\u201d.<\/p>\n
