US lawmakers vote on next phase of Trump impeachment inquiry

From Morning Report, 7:21 am on 1 November 2019

The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure detailed how the inquiry will move into a more public phase and was not a vote on whether to impeach the president.

The vote was the first formal test of support for impeachment in the Democratic-controlled house.
