Washington: Ahead of the next impeachment hearing by the House Judiciary Committee slated to kick off on Monday, US President Donald Trump on Sunday accused the Democrats of changing the impeachment guidelines as the facts are not on their side.

"Less than 48 hours before the start of the Impeachment Hearing Hoax, on Monday, the No Due Process, Do Nothing Democrats are, believe it or not, changing the Impeachment Guidelines because the facts are not on their side," he wrote on Twitter.

  • Less than 48 hours before start of the Impeachment Hearing Hoax, on Monday, the No Due Process, Do Nothing Democrats are, believe it or not, changing the Impeachment Guidelines because the facts are not on their side. When you can’t win the game, change the rules!

The committee said in a statement that the hearing will receive presentations from counsels to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Judiciary Committee.

The announcement came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that Democrats would move forward with impeaching Trump over the upcoming weeks as they aimed to have the full chamber vote before Christmas.

The Judiciary Committee held its first impeachment hearing on December 4 when a trio of legal scholars argued that Trump's unprecedented conduct was evidence of impeachable offences.

During the same hearing, a fourth witness, on request of the Republicans, had argued that the Democrats were making a mistake by pursuing a slipshod impeachment that would have long-lasting consequences.
