The House of Representatives presented two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump: that the president abused his power by pressing Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, and that he obstructed Congress by insisting that key witnesses cannot testify. The votes on those charges are expected to be swift and along party lines in the House. Mr Trump could be impeached before Christmas, setting up a trial early next year in the Senate, which will in all likelihood acquit him.
众议院提交了两份针对特朗普的弹劾文件:一份是总统滥用职权，迫使乌克兰挖掘乔·拜登的丑闻；另一份是他坚称关键证人不能作证，从而阻挠国会听证。有关这些指控的投票预计将很快进行，并在众议院按照党派路线进行。特朗普可能会在圣诞节前被弹劾，并于明年初在参议院接受审判，届时他极有可能被无罪释放。
Officials in Jersey City, which lies across the Hudson river from Manhattan, said three people murdered in a kosher market may have been targeted for anti-Semitic reasons.

First-day priorities

Alberto Fernández, a Peronist, took office as Argentina’s president.

Genaro García Luna, who was Mexico’s secretary of public security during the presidency of Felipe Calderón, was arrested in Texas.

Honduras’s congress voted to recommend that the president not renew the mandate of MACCIH, a corruption-fighting mission backed by the Organisation of American States.
