The letter was released as House Democrats and Republicans sparred over the rules of debate for Wednesday's historic votes on impeaching Trump. The Democratic-majority House Rules Committee met through the day Tuesday, with lawmakers arguing over the parameters for Wednesday's debate, which is expected to culminate in votes to make Trump the third president to be impeached in American history.
"It's a hoax, the whole impeachment thing," Trump told reporters Tuesday.
House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry in September to investigate whether Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and Biden’s son, Hunter, and their connection to a Ukrainian energy company in exchange for an invitation to the White House and a military aid package.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
