International Desk: Democrats in the US House of Representatives have published a resolution setting out the next steps in their impeachment efforts against US President Donald Trump.
The motion sets out a more public phase of the inquiry and hands the lead role in hearings to the chair of the intelligence committee, Adam Schiff, reports BBC.
The House, controlled by the Democrats, will vote on the measure on Thursday.
A White House spokeswoman called the resolution an “illegitimate sham”.
So far, hearings have been held behind closed doors.
Mr Trump is accused of trying to pressure Ukraine into investigating unsubstantiated corruption claims against his political rival, Joe Biden, and his son who worked with Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
