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

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    Trump is the one describing the edited notes as a transcript.

    "The one"? There are apparently a couple of different things called a "transcript", the testimony of the witness who brought up the claimed act of wrongdoing and said "edited notes" provided by Trump's administration. My take is that characterizing the witness's statement as a "transcript" is highly deceptive. Meanwhile, I haven't heard any reason to suppose Trump's description of the documents as a transcript provided by his administration in response is inaccurate. Even editing the "transcript" doesn't necessarily make it not a transcript.
