House to step up Trump impeachment inquiry heats up
The House launched a presidential impeachment inquiry for the fourth time in U S history. Committees seek whether President Trump asked a foreign country to probe a political rival. Marie Yovanovitch testified that Trump pressured the State Department to remove her. Republicans grapple with whether to press the issue, while Trump leans on his conservative evangelical base. Congress returns from recess to hear public sentiment on the probe.
