The House Democrats in the United States have unveiled plans to open up the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump with public hearings, after criticism from Republicans that the process has been overly secretive. The White House responded that it still considers the proceedings a “scam,” signalling no let-up in Mr. Trump’s strategy of trying to prevent the investigation from going ahead. Democrats deny that they have been secretive. On Tuesday, Democrats proposed legislation for the next stages of the process, giving Republicans the right to call their own witnesses.
