Protesters are holding rallies against US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC on 18 December, where a crucial vote on Trump's impeachment is set to take place. In September, House Democrats started an impeachment inquiry after a whistleblower complaint alleged that Trump had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to probe his potential political rival in the 2020 presidential campaign – Joe Biden – for corruption.
Trump has repeatedly complained that the impeachment inquiry is a sham and a political witch hunt by Democrats.
If the House of Representatives impeaches Trump, he will face a trial in the Republican-controlled Senate.
