The White House had previously issued a transcript of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. The US President stressed that he hadn't violated the law, claiming that Democrats are trying to destroy the Republican party using a made-up pretext.

Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a member of a left-wing "squad" of US Democratic Party lawmakers, has started selling t-shirts with the caption "Impeach the MF" in order to support an impeachment bid against President Donald Trump.

Tlaib's re-election campaign presented the t-shirts on Thursday, and the representative also promoted them on her Twitter page.

House Democrats launched an impeachment procedure against the US President after a complaint from a whistle-blower, claiming that Trump had urged his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to re-start an investigation into the business dealings of Hunter Biden, former vice president Joe Biden's son, with a Ukrainian gas company.

According to the complaint, Trump pressured Zelensky in order to affect the Democratic candidate and secure his own re-election bid.

While Democratic legislators claimed that the president crossed the line, Republicans denied these allegations, stressing that he hasn't violated any law, and adding that the whole case is an operation ahead of the 2020 election.
