The House of Representatives in the United States of America is set to vote on how the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump should proceed.

The resolution to be voted on sets out a more public phase of the process and is not a ballot on whether or not to impeach the President, the BBC reports.

The measure also sets out the rights Trump's lawyers would have.

This will be the first formal test of support for the inquiry in the Democratic-controlled House.

Trump denies wrongdoing and calls the impeachment inquiry a "witch hunt".
