INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday that the House of Representatives does not plan at this time to hold a full vote to authorize an
impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump, while House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff pointed to information
gathered in witness testimony despite a 'complete effort by the administration to stonewall' the probe."There is no requirement that we have
a vote and so at this time we will not be having a vote," Ms Pelosi said at a press conference on Tuesday.The White House has criticized the
lack of such a vote and vowed not to cooperate with what it describes as an illegitimate investigation.The investigation is focused on the
July call in which Trump pressed Zelenskiy to have Ukraine officials investigate Biden and his businessman son, Hunter Biden, who had been
on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.Hunter Biden, 49, denied doing anything improper and Joe Biden has denied Trump's allegations of
corruption.Democrats have accused Trump of pressuring a vulnerable U.S
ally to dig up dirt on Biden after withholding $391 million in U.S
security aid intended to help combat Russian-backed separatists in the eastern part of Ukraine.Trump has denied wrongdoing and defended his
request to Zelenskiy during the phone call, which prompted a formal whistleblower complaint by a person with a U.S
intelligence agency.The Pentagon said on Tuesday that it was unable to share documents with the House of Representative committee pursuing
an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, citing "legal and practical concerns."In a letter seen by Reuters, the Pentagon said the
House of Representatives did not have a resolution authorizing an impeachment investigation, adding that it could not produce documents in
the eight days it was given to comply with the subpoena.Get Breaking news, live coverage, and Latest News from India and around the world on
