Donald Trump has described his impeachment as “political suicide march” for the Democrats as he raged against the historic rebuke at a campaign rally.

He took to the stage in Michigan just minutes before he became the third president in the history of the US to be impeachment by the House of Representatives.
The president slammed the move, accusing the “radical left in Congress” of being “consumed with envy and hate and rage” as he rallied supporters.
Speaking as the House passed the two articles of impeachment against him, he told the crowd: “The do-nothing Democrats are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American people… This lawless partisan impeachment is a political suicide march for the Democrat party”.
The move in the House of Representatives means the US leader, who was holding a rally at the time of the votes, will now face a Senate trial next month.

Lawmakers approved the first charge, of abuse of power, with 229 votes for to 197 against. The second article, of obstruction of Congress, was later passed by 229 to 198 votes
