Original story: The House Judiciary Committee is set to vote Thursday on two articles of impeachment charging President Donald Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. >> Read more trending news  The vote will mark only the third time in the country’s 243-year history that Congress will consider impeachment charges against a sitting president. The charges allege Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s connections with a Ukrainian energy company in exchange for military aid and a White House meeting for the newly-elected president. In a second charge, House Democrats say Trump obstructed Congress by blocking testimony from witnesses and refusing requests for documents during the impeachment inquiry that was launched in September. The decision to open the inquiry came after a whistleblower filed a complaint alleging that a phone call made by Trump to Zelensky on July 25 tied military aid and a White House meeting to personal political favors. On Tuesday, House Democratic leaders introduced the two articles of impeachment saying Trump presented a “clear and present” danger to not only the 2020 presidential election but to the nation’s security. In an unusual evening session on Wednesday, the committee began debate on the articles. The session saw the two parties argue over the charges against Trump, the Constitution’s meaning when it comes to impeachment and why the inquiry was undertaken instead of leaving Trump’s fate to the voters in next year’s election. What happens next? The committee is expected to reconvene at 9 a.m. ET Thursday. If the committee passes the resolution Thursday to send the articles of impeachment to the full House, a vote to impeach Trump will likely take place next week. It takes a simple majority vote of members of the Judiciary Committee to move the articles to the House floor for a full vote. The Democrats have a 24-17 majority in the committee. The vote is expected to fall along party lines. Follow us here for live updates on Thursday as the committee debates the articles of impeachment and moves to a vote. [Summary]

A Washington jeweler chased down a man who police say tried to steal a $1,800 ring on Tuesday. Police said they received a report around 3 p.m. of a man who was detained in a parking lot after attempting to rob Farwell Jewelers. In their investigation, police said a man entered the store and asked to take a look at a ring worth about $2,400. Jeweler Tony Farwell told KIRO on Thursday the ring was worth $1,800. “Once the suspect had possession of the ring, he fled out of the business and advised the business owner that he had a gun,” a spokesperson for the police department wrote in a news release. Police said Farwell chased the man outside of the business, drew his weapon and demanded the man to stop. According to police, the man displayed what was later determined to be a BB gun but never pointed the gun at Farwell. A witness then helped in detaining the suspect until police could arrive, officials said. The man was taken into custody and was booked into the Thurston County Jail on investigation of robbery. Officials said the ring was recovered and is available for sale.

Every day, Kevin Kelley wakes up tucked under the covers of his bed feeling good. Then he pulls back the blankets to realize: “I don’t have any hands and feet.” “And that’s every day,” he said. It’s been almost 11 months since the first time Kelley woke up in a hospital bed to find out that he no longer had fingers, toes, wrists or ankles. “The day I woke up and found I had no feet and no hands was kind of a shock,” he said. What started as a mild fever and a strep infection turned into sepsis and rare, often deadly infection. To save his life, doctors had to perform a quadruple amputation. “It was devastating,” girlfriend Lynn Garapic said. “It’s something you never want anyone to go through and you don’t expect to go through yourself.” Doctors told Garapic to call Kelley’s sons in Hawaii and tell them to get on a flight. Their father had a 10 percent chance of survival. Eleven months later, Kelley still remembers almost nothing from his brush with death in the form of a rare, deadly condition called purpura fulminans that causes your skin to rot – hands and feet first. “Then the day I woke up, I finally realized I was awake and saw hands wrapped and feet wrapped. I had no idea this had taken place,” he said. The former Uber driver has spent the better part of the last year getting used to a new normal; one where he remembers each morning that he no longer has limbs, and straps on his prosthetics to get around. He said he likes prosthetics that look like real feet and wears sandals so he can look down and see his toes. “Seeing the feet makes me happy,” he said. Out in public he said passersby often thank him for his service, thinking he lost his limbs in combat. “I get that all the time … I always tell them, ‘Nah, I got sick you know.’” People are even more puzzled when he tells them it all started with a case of strep. It makes him happy to know his story helps others have a better appreciation for life as they know it. “We were walking in Publix and a lady comes up to Lynn and says, ‘I’ll never complain another day in my life’ because she saw me walking around the store,” he said. Kelley said the experience shifted his outlook on life as well – encouraging him to try to help out the underdog. “If somebody’s down and out, I want to see if I can help ‘em,” he said.
