The report, which states that the president “sought to undermine the integrity of the U.S. presidential election process, and endangered U.S. national security,” was approved on a party-line vote.

The report also hints strongly at charges of obstruction of justice, among other crimes, but does not recommend specific articles of impeachment.

Democrats are seeking to build a case that Trump leveraged military assistance and an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in exchange for investigations of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, and a debunked theory alleging Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.

and then the report was sent to the House Judiciary Committee. So the report from Intelligence Committee was made public last night.
...That is the reason for today's news. That is news to me, first time I discovered that today's news is the result of that action. Therefore, the summary of the House Intelligence Committee report was made public last night because that summary was being sent to the House Judiciary Committee. Then, the Judiciary Committee holds hearings. That is a different committee than the one we just listened to. I didn't catch piece of information earlier. Oh well back to the basement for exercise....??

THANK YOU ..brooklynite, for posting...K and R.
