House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, a historic moment prompted by reports that the US president had pressured Ukraine's president to dig up dirt on former vice president Joe Biden’s family.
Pelosi's announcement came nearly two and a half years after the first Democrat in Congress called for impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Needless to say, Twitter was ready.
