Seven directors at the House of Representatives will present their suit against the President Trump. They appeared in a video as they were walking through the Capitol Hill to formally submit the indictment to the U.S. Senate.

The American House of Representative’s Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused on Thursday President Donald Trump's administration of violating the law by withholding aid from Ukraine which the Congress approved, following a congressional oversight panel's report on the issue.

Pelosi told reporters, “The Office of Administration, Budget, the White House and the Administration have violated… I say they violated the law... This once again reinforces the need for documents and calling on the witnesses to the Senate that will prosecute President Donald Trump.”

“President Donald Trump's administration violated the federal law last year by withholding security assistance from Ukraine that the Congress had approved,” the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in a report released on Thursday.

The Office said, “The faithful application of the law does not allow the president to replace the policies legislated by the Congress with the priority of his own policies. The Office of Administration and Budget withheld the finance for a political reason, which is not permitted by law.”
