“This is nothing more than an illegal, partisan attempted coup that will, based on recent sentiment, badly fail at the voting booth,” Trump’s letter stated, alluding to the 2020 US presidential election in which he is seeking another four years in office. House Democrats accuse Trump of abusing his power by asking Ukraine to investigate Biden, a former US vice-president and a Democratic contender to oppose him in the 2020 election.“Look, this has been a total sham from the beginning,” Trump told reporters at the White House shortly after his letter was released.
Members of the House Rules Committee met on Tuesday over the rules for the debate before the historic vote set for Wednesday in the chamber in which Trump is likely to become the third US president to face an impeachment process. Trump has refused to co-operate with the House impeachment process and ordered current and former officials such as those mentioned by Schumer not to testify or provide documents.
