House lawmakers will continue their impeachment probe against President Donald Trump even after the vote to oust the president later this week, House Democrats’ attorneys told a federal court on Dec. 16.

House general counsel Douglas Letter in a filing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit highlighted the urgency of grand jury materials that were demanded by the House, which are connected to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He argued that ahead of a Senate impeachment trial next month, such evidence might become relevant, Politico reported.
