against president trump until this morning. we have two reports and we start with nbc's peter alexander, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, the committee members clearing out of this room just before midnight. they will be back here early this morning. the top democrat chairman jerry nadler hitting pause on their impeachment plans, triggering those republican protests by holding off that history making vote until later this morning. after a marathon 14-hour debate, a late night surprise, judiciary chairman jerry nadler unexpectedly gaveling the hearing to a close without a vote. >> to think about what has happened over these last two days and to search their consciences before we cast our final votes, the committee is in recess. >> the move leaving republicans furious. >> get back on the cameras, 11:00 tonight. >> reporter: the committee now set to reconvene this morning to

vote on two articles of impeachment. the democrats accusing president trump of shaking down a foreign government to benefit himself politically. >> the reason we're here, the reason that we're moving forward on articles of impeachment is because the president of the united states abused his power by soliciting foreign interference in his own reelection. >> the republicans blasting the entire effort as illegitimate and a railroad job. >> so what we have heard over the last two days is basically every grievance that democrats have against this president. you stuck a ladle in that slap bucket and try to throw it out there. you're all over the map because you can't deliver a crime. >> reporter: the bitter debate at times turning personal with trump ally matt gates attacking hunter biden and raising the younger biden's past substance

abuse. >> it's a little hard to believe that burisma hired hunter biden to resolve their international disputes when he could not resolve his own dispute with hertz rental car over leaving cocaine in a car. this is an nbc news special report. >> good morning, everyone. after 14 hours a marathon of debate yesterday. the house judiciary committee has reconvened and is about to vote now in the articles of impeachment. two articles being considered. one that president trump abused his power by soliciting the interference of a foreign government, ukraine in the 2020 election for his personal political benefit pressuring that government to do so by with holding military aid and article 2 that the president obstructed congress by refusing to cooperate with the investigation. with this vote, likely along partisan lines, the committee

takes the next big step on the road this country has seldom travelled before. the vote on article one is already underway. let's take you into the hearing room. >> no. >> mr. jordan votes no. >> mr. buck. >> no. >> mr. buck votes no. >> no. >> mr. ratcliffe votes no. >> no. >> she votes no. >> mr. gates. >> no. >> mr. gates votes no. >> mr. johnson of louisiana. >> no. >> mr. johnson of louisiana votes no. >> no. >> mr. biggs votes no. >> mr. mcclintock. >> no. >> no. >> miss lesko votes no. >> no. >> mr. cline no. >> mr. cline votes no. >> mr. armstrong. >> mr. armstrong votes no.

>> mr. stube. >> no. >> mr. stube votes no. >> has every member voted that wishes to vote? >> chairman, may i ask how i am recorded. >> you are recorded as no. >> i want to make sure. >> the clerk will report. >> mr. chairman, there are 23 ayes and 17 noes. >> the article is agreed to. the question two is on article 2 of the resolution. impeaching president donald j. trump for obstructing congress. the clerk will call the role. >> mr. nadler. >> aye. >> aye. >> mrs. jackson lee. >> aye. >> miss jackson lee votes aye. >> mr. cohen? >> aye. >> mr. johnson of georgia votes aye.

>> deutch votes aye. >> miss bass. >> aye. >> mr. richmond? >> yes. >> votes yes. >> mr. jeffreys. >> aye. >> mr. jeffreys votes aye. >> votes aye. >> mr. swalwell votes aye. >> mr. lou. mr. raskin votes aye. >> aye. >> votes aye. >> miss demmings. >> aye. >> mr. correa votes yes. >> yes. >> miss scanlon votes aye. >> miss garcia votes aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> mr. stanton votes aye. >> miss dean.

>> mr. kline. >> no. >> mr. cline votes no. >> mr. armstrong. >> no. >> mr. armstrong votes no. >> mr. steube? >> no. >> votes no. >> has every member that wishes to vote voted? clerk will report. >> mr. chairman, there are 23 ayes and 17 noes. >> the article is agreed to. the resolution is amended and ordered favorably to the house. members will have two days to submit views. the resolution will be reported as a single amendment. without objection, staff is authorized to make technical changes and that objection is to -- >> mr. chairman -- >> what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition. >> i give notice. >> notice is served. with that objection, the committee aadjourned. >> after that long, long day and night, today's proceeding rather quick. the vote on both articles of

impeachment approved on a 23-17 vote along partisan lines as we suspected. this is only another step. it brings the president to the brink of history. let's go right now to jeff on capitol hill. walk us through what's happened and what happens next. >> as you mentioned, this was the outcome we expected. a party line vote. in this case it was 23-17. normally in this committee it would be 24-17 but democratic congressman ted lou is recovering from a medical procedure. from here the drama moves to the house floor. you have the full house set to vote on the articles of impeachment next week. here's what we expect according to a democratic source familiar. on tuesday we're told that the house will vote on the spending deal that keeps the government funded and keeps government government workers paid. on wednesday they'll vote on impeachment after a lengthy floor debate and on thursday they'll vote on the trade deal and the scheduling of that we're

told is intentional. democrats intend to show the country that even as they hold president trump to account they still have the capacity to govern. now house speaker nancy pelosi made clear she is not pressuring them to vote in support of impeachment but democratic leaders tell us they have the votes they need to prevail which would then tee up a senate trial in early 2020. >> so wednesday, they will debate and vote on the articles of impeachment. will that be a long drawn out affair as we saw last night or something more focused? >> something decidedly more focused. you'll see hours of debate and then a vote some time in the early afternoon or late afternoon, early evening. but it should not take the 14 or 15 hours that we saw in this committee with their debate yesterday. >> let's go to chuck todd right now in our washington newsroom. chuck, this vote could have been held yesterday before all of that debate and the outcome would have been the same. what was the point of what we

saw last night? >> well, look, i think the real point is is that that's how the process is supposed to work. i think what the republicans successfully did is they gummed things up. i think they have made the focus the process rather than the allegations. i think politically they have thought the fact that it is a unified republican vote there. that was no given three weeks ago. that was no given with the intel committee three or four weeks ago. whatever hopes that some democrats in the leadership in the house had that perhaps beyond justin who is no longer actually a member of the republican party but the one non-democrat in the house that supports impeachment, they thought is there a possibility and the republicans whole goal over the last month was to unite that party and they successfully have done it. you have now this partisan

result which is exactly what they wanted. the more political it looked. the more political it looks the easier it will be to get the senate to end up essentially speeding through this trial. it does look to me as if both nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell are trying to speed up and try to hit a brick wall fast. get this over with and get beyond. the real question to me now and as i think where this debate is going to move forward is if there's going to be a big debate on trying to win the aftermath of impeachment. where do we go after this process is over. >> let me bring in our legal analyst. we keep talking about a trial as we look ahead. two steps forward. not a criminal trial. the chief justice presiding. do we have any idea what it looks like? is anything familiar to a criminal procedure? >> we don't have a lot in common

with the criminal procedure we have railroad seen a departure saying that the republican in the senate are working closely with the white house in terms of how to conduct the impeachment trial. >> there's been a lot of ideas about how to defend the president. he got some of it in some of what we heard yesterday. do we know how that will play out in the trial. >> in the sense that he saw his republican allies vigorously defending him. he loved to see that. he has been tweeting about that

all morning long. you may not see total unity on the democratic side that will come from the house vote set to happen last week but some democrats potentially a very small hand full. high profile lawmakers familiar to our viewers that will be presenting the democrats case. >> let me go to andrea mitchell. it has been said that the president has essentially impeached himself. does that hold water? >> well, we'll see whether that holds water with the american people. what they're arguing is that the call and of course the follow up

comments by nick mulvaney basically layed out the case for what happened for what they claim is an abuse of power. following up as well on whether or not this could ever be bipartisan and not just along partisan lines, the republicans have some hope of even expanding that handfull of democrats trying to get some of the democrats that were in very closely fought, some of the fresh men from previously red districts to try to turnover. i'm not sure that they will from those conversations that i have had with them. >> thank you. the house judiciary committee approved two articles of impeachment. abuse of power and obstruction of congress. the vote on party lines as expected. the next step is this goes to the full house of representatives. they'll take that up on wednesday with a debate and then a vote on impeachment on the articles of impeachment themselves. we'll of course be covering this throughout the day on msnbc. i'll have a full wrap up for you on "nbc ni on "nbc nightly news."
