Listen now]( [Image]( DECEMBER 12, 2019 After 14 hours of debate, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee [suddenly announced]( that the panel would not vote as planned on Thursday night on the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, infuriating Republicans. Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said shortly after 11 p.m. that the committee would instead vote on impeachment on Friday at 10 a.m. ET [Reports NBC's Rebecca Shabad](: The move caught Republicans on the committee off guard and infuriated them. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., accused Democrats of making the move only to get more media attention on Friday. "They want the prime time hit," he said. Before banging his gavel to end the meeting, Nadler said, "It is now very late at night. I want members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over the last two days and to search their consciences before they cast their final votes." "Democrats say they want to have this vote in the light of day," reported MSNBC's Garrett Haake. "It's too important to impeach the president in the dark of night and is something they want the American people to see." If the articles pass the committee Friday, the full House is expected to hold a floor vote on the impeachment articles, mostly likely on Wednesday, before lawmakers leave for their holiday break. If approved, a trial about whether to convict Trump and remove him from office will be held in the Senate in January. Boris Johnson looks set to stay on as prime minister and [win a huge majority in the British Parliament](, according to an exit poll published as voting closed in what has been called the most important election in a generation. A Conservative victory would mean that the United Kingdom is all but certain to finally leave the European Union on Jan. 31, more than three and a half years after the Brexit referendum in 2016.
