US House investigators have released dozens of text messages between American diplomats in Ukraine discussing President Donald Trump’s demands that the country launch an investigation into Joe Biden’s family. In return, the texts suggest, Ukraine’s new president would get a high-profile visit to Washington.

US Senator Debbie Stabenow is supporting the House impeachment inquiry, saying it’s very clear that the president abused his power. The state’s senior US senator was asked if she would she vote to impeach Mr. Trump.

“Let’s take it one step at a time,” said the senator. “I support the inquiry and we will look at what the House gives to us. The most important thing is that there be a fair trial and that this be taken seriously.”

Stabenow says she has confidence in the House, adding her Senate Republican colleagues will have to choose between party and country.
