The article accuses Trump of tinkering with the FBI's investigations into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Trump "sought to use his authority to hinder and cause the termination of such investigations," the resolution reads.

It's unlikely the article will get far in a GOP-controlled House, especially since Democrat leaders in Congress have already said they're against impeachment — at least for the time being.
