The first public impeachment inquiry hearings are to start in the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday morning, prompting President Donald Trump to write several tweets ahead of time.

“READ THE TRANSCRIPT!” he wrote about an hour and a half before the hearings are to being, referring to a White House-released transcript of the phone call between him and Ukraine President Zelensky. House Democrats have said the phone call, where Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to look into Joe Biden and his son, as well as depositions from bureaucrats who dealt with Ukraine, are evidence that Trump misused his office.
