President Donald Trump hits back after impeachment

An enraged and defiant Donald Trump lashed out at his Democratic tormentors after they made him the third President in US history to be impeached by the House of Representatives after a dramatic night.

Lawmakers in the lower house of Congress, currently controlled by opposition Democrats, voted to approve two articles of impeachment.

The president is facing allegations that he threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless the country launched an investigation into the son of Joe Biden, his likely opponent in next year's election.

No members of Trump's Republican party voted against the US leader but three Democrats - who represent districts who voted for the president in the 2016 election - voted not to impeach.

A fourth Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, a combat veteran and occasional Trump defender, voted 'present' on both articles - effectively abstaining.
