Americans by a 45% to 38% plurality now support a vote by the House of Representatives to impeach President Trump, a USA Today/Ipsos Poll finds, as allegations continue to swirl around an embattled White House.

By a similar margin, 44% to 35%, those surveyed say the Senate, which would then be charged with holding a trial of the president, should convict Trump and remove him from office.

FiveThirtyEight is tracking the impeachment polls: 46.7% of Americans currently support impeachment, while 45.1% oppose it.

Washington Post: “Current and former U.S. officials studying the document pointed to several elements that, they say, indicate that the document may have been handled in an unusual way.”

“Those include the use of ellipses — punctuation indicating that information has been deleted for clarity or other reasons — that traditionally have not appeared in summaries of presidential calls with foreign leaders.”

“In two of the cases when ellipses were used, they accompanied Trump’s reference to cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which is at the center of a conservative conspiracy theory about a computer server central to the company’s investigation of the Russian hack of Democratic Party computers that, according to those pushing the theory, is hidden away in Ukraine.”

“The use of ellipses in this passage fueled questions about what may have been removed and why.”

New York Times: “Some Democrats prepared for an explosive revelation that might show top administration officials had tried to obstruct their work. Speaker Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers on a caucus conference call that news reports were confirming that the heart of the briefing was about the White House retaliating against State Department staff who complied with the investigation. Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, called Mr. Linick’s request ‘significant’ and told lawmakers to ‘stay tuned.'”

“So what congressional aides received — a roughly 40-page packet of documents sheathed in a manila envelope decorated with cursive script and manipulated to look aged, with a return address portraying that it had come from the White House — may have been a bit of a letdown.”
