A fiercely divided House Judiciary Committee has approved two articles of impeachment against President Trump, setting up a historic trial before the full Senate that makes him only the third president to be impeached.

The votes and a fractious two-day debate preceding them reflected the realities of the hyperpartisan divisions in American politics that have grown wider during Mr. Trump’s three years in office.
