More material was expected to be disclosed, according to an official working on the impeachment inquiry. At the White House, Trump denounced the inquiry anew as a “hoax” and encouraged Republicans to rally to his defence shortly before the vote. As expected, the House prosecution team will be led by Reps Adam B Schiff of California, chairman of the Intelligence Committee who led the Ukraine inquiry. From there, accompanied by the House clerk and sergeant-at-arms, the managers will file from the House, through the old House chamber and the Capitol Rotunda to the Senate, where Democrats will present the articles to the secretary of the Senate. But the trial itself is not expected to start until Thursday.
