Trump impeachment news – live: President says world not laughing at US days after leaders caught laughing at him, as new poll projects him losing to 2020 contenders

Donald Trump has lashed out at his political competitors in his present-day 2020 campaign rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, also claiming the area is no longer giggling at us each week after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau end up filmed doing precisely that.

The president labeled House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff “a crooked bastard” and the FBI “scum” at one of his most raucous gatherings in recent memory, coming hours after House Democrats moved to charge him with two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The Judiciary Committee is due to meet today to debate the articles ahead of a vote to send the matter on to the full House of Representatives as a devastating new Quinnipiac poll projects Mr. Trump losing comfortably to all of the leading Democratic presidential nominees in 2020.
