Report: House Democrats to Vote on Impeachment Procedures Thursday

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), chairman of House Rules Committee, said he will introduce the resolution's text for approval on Tuesday and the panel will move to mark it up by Wednesday.

"As committees continue to gather evidence and prepare to present their findings, I will be introducing a resolution to ensure transparency and provide a clear path forward," McGovern said in a statement. "This is the right thing to do for the institution and the American people."

The development comes as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) faces pressure from House and Senate Republicans to bring the impeachment probe from out of the shadows.

In recent weeks, the House intel panel has interviewed several current and former Trump administration officials inside Capitol Hill's SCIF room, also known as a sensitive compartmented information facility. Arguing against the secret bunker's use, Republicans say no discussions involving classified information have occurred inside and assert Democrats are using it to selectively leaking excerpts of witnesses testimony to the media. Nearly 30 House Republicans attempted to storm the chamber on Wednesday as Laura Cooper, a senior Department of Defense official working on Ukraine, was scheduled to testify.
