US House of Representatives will take its first formal vote this week on the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump
Vice President Mike Pence applauds as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi remains in her seat and looks through a copy of the speech as President Donald Trump arrives to deliver his second State of the Union address to a joint session of the US Congress in the House Chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington on February 5, 2019
The effort appears aimed at pushing back against Trump and Republicans who have argued an impeachment proceeding lacks authorisation without a full floor vote. The measure "establishes the procedure for hearings that are open to the American people, authorises the disclosure of deposition transcripts outlines procedures to transfer evidence to the Judiciary Committee as it considers potential articles of impeachment," she added.
Pelosi, Trump's chief adversary in Congress, made her move as the impeachment showdown took an urgent new tone in Washington as a key witness defied a US House subpoena to testify.
