(CNN) The House Judiciary Committee early Monday morning released its impeachment report to accompany the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump that will be on the House floor this week.

The 658-page report explains the decision to charge Trump with two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It also includes the committee reports previously issued from the House Intelligence Committee laying out the evidence against the President and the Judiciary Committee explaining the constitutional grounds for impeachment, as well as Republican views that contest the inquiry and argue the President did not commit impeachable offenses.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler's panel wrote that Trump "ignored and injured our national security when he corruptly abused the powers of his office for personal political gain."

"Taken together, the articles charge that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections and our systems of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked," the judiciary panel's report said. "Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office."

The report is one of the steps that's needed as the House prepared to consider the two articles of impeachment on the floor, which are expected to get a vote on Wednesday. The House Rules Committee will take up the articles to set the rules for the floor debate in a Tuesday hearing.
