LIVE: ABC News has continuing coverage as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces formal impeachment inquiry into Pres. Trump.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced she was moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Trump promised on Tuesday afternoon to release an unredacted transcript of the call Wednesday -- just hours before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was to announce next moves by Democrats on impeachment. Democrats also want a copy of the Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson's report on the complaint that he sent to Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. Maguire, who blocked Atkinson from sending the complaint to Congress, is supposed to testify in public before the House Intelligence Committee Thursday.
While support for impeaching Trump in the wake of the Mueller investigation has steadily grown, especially among progressive Democrats, the new reports that the president repeatedly pressed the Ukrainian leader to investigate a potential 2020 Democratic opponent and his son’s business dealings - while instructing top aides to freeze aid to Ukraine approved by Congress - has forced a reckoning on Capitol Hill.
