The 2019 impeachment during Trump's first term was initiated by Congress, including the House Intelligence Committee chaired by Democrat Adam Schiff. The president was accused of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress following a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The House of Representatives voted to impeach, but the Senate acquitted Trump.

Watergate refers to the 1970s U.S. political scandal that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation after the illegal surveillance of political opponents was revealed.

Trump has repeatedly described the attempts to impeach him as politically motivated and referred to the investigation as a "witch hunt."
