READ: House Intelligence Committee releases Trump impeachment report

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Adam Schiff, released their report on impeachment proceedings against President Trump on Tuesday.

The report outlines the case for impeaching the president, whom they accuse of withholding almost $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into the 2016 presidential election and his 2020 rival Joe Biden.

A July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the catalyst behind the whistleblower complaint that sparked the impeachment effort.

The report comes after a number of witnesses were called to testify before the committee, including Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, and special envoy Kurt Volker, among others.

Republicans released their own report on Monday that claimed the president did nothing wrong in withholding military aid. They also argue that Trump did not attempt to obstruct House impeachment proceedings.
