LIVE COVERAGE: The House of Representatives convenes and debates the impeachment of President Trump. The House is set to vote later this evening.
In September 2019, a revelation emerged that Trump had asked Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. In response, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated a formal impeachment inquiry on September 24.
The Trump administration subsequently released a transcript of a July phone call between Trump and Zelensky.
Zelensky denied that he felt pressured by Trump.
