Ross J Burland FXStreet

The US House Intelligence Committee has approved US president Trump's impeachment report.

Overnight, the US House Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump released their report detailing the case against the Republican president, saying he used "the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election."

"The report was prepared for the House Judiciary Committee, which is scheduled to kick off hearings on Wednesday as it begins to consider drafting articles of impeachment to be laid before the full House," Reuters explained.
