House Intelligence Committee impeachment report ready for review, vote
As promised, President Trump's impeachment inquiry will pick up right where it left off this week.
Members of the House Intelligence Committee will reportedly begin reviewing a report on the panel's probe into Trump's alleged efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his Democratic rivals Monday.
The committee members will reportedly have a 24-hour window to sift through the report before it goes to a vote Tuesday. The vote is mainly a formality and is expected to be split along party lines, which means it will likely be approved and then passed along to the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee will then begin its own proceedings Wednesday.
