Конгресс США начал слушания об импичменте Дональда Трампа.
Для справки: импичмент - отрешение от должности действующего президента.
Это всё, что вам нужно знать о том, кто победил на последних президентских выборах в США.

Impeachment in the United States is the process by which the House of Representatives brings charges against either the President, the Vice President, or any federal officer for misconduct alleged to have been committed.
Most impeachments have concerned alleged
crimes committed while in office, though there have been a few cases in which officials have been impeached and subsequently convicted for crimes committed prior to taking office.
There have also been cases where a former official was tried after leaving office. The one occasion when the Senate found that they did have jurisdiction to impeach a person no longer serving in office was followed by at least two instances when the Senate deferred a trial because the persons were no longer in office.
The impeachment proceedings are remedial rather than punitive in nature, and the remedy is limited to removal from office and
disqualification to hold office.
