TRUMP IMPEACHMENT: HOUSE TO VOTE ON HOW INQUIRY SHOULD PROCEED

TRUMP IMPEACHMENT: HOUSE TO VOTE ON HOW INQUIRY SHOULD PROCEED

The US House of Representatives is set to vote on how the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump should proceed.
The resolution to be voted on sets out a more public phase of the process and is not a ballot on whether or not to impeach the president.
The measure also sets out the rights Mr Trump’s lawyers would have.
This will be the first formal test of support for the inquiry in the Democratic-controlled House.
President Trump is accused of trying to pressure Ukraine into investigating unsubstantiated corruption claims against his political rival, Joe Biden, and his son who worked with Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
Mr Trump denies wrongdoing and calls the impeachment inquiry a “witch hunt”.
Republicans have criticised Democrats for the closed hearings up to this point, in which Republican lawmakers have also taken part. But Democrats insist they were needed to gather evidence ahead of the public stage of the inquiry, and deny allegations they have been secretive.

EVERTON AND MANCHESTER UNITED PLAY OUT A 1-1 DRAW AT GOODISION PARK Everton had a late winner against Manchester United ruled out and manager  Carlo Ancelotti  was sent off in an entertaining game in which both teams were undone by goalkeeping mistakes. The hosts made a dream start thanks to a calamitous error by United’s David de Gea, whose clearance cannoned straight into Dominic Calvert-Lewin and then into the net for the striker’s 15th goal of the season. United responded from that early setback when Nemanja Matic’s shot smacked against the Everton crossbar, and they equalised after 31 minutes when Everton’s Jordan Pickford failed to stop Bruno Fernandes’ bouncing shot from 20 yards. Everton upped the tempo following the break in a feisty game where seven players were booked, and the hosts came close to scoring when Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the post with a dipping free-kick. But there was late drama as both keepers redeemed themselves with fine saves, and Calve...
