Deadline for Trump to respond to impeachment proceedings
US President Donald Trump has until 17:00 EST (22:00 GMT) tonight to state whether his legal counsel intends to participate in the upcoming impeachment proceedings, and which privileges his counsel wish to exercise.
The deadline was requested by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler, and follows speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi giving impeachment articles against Trump the green light yesterday.
The Democrats argue that Trump abused the power of the presidency by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate potential 2020 rival Joe Biden.
Trump has described impeachment proceedings as a “witch hunt”.
