Trump impeachment: How Ukraine story unfolded

Last week, millions of Americans saw and heard evidence from the impeachment inquiry when the first public hearings were beamed into living rooms. How did we get to this point? It's only the fourth time in US history that an American president has faced the peril of being forced from the White House. Mr Trump is accused of withholding nearly $400m (£327m) in military aid in order to pressurise Ukraine's new president into launching an inquiry into his 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden and his son. But the US president denies doing anything wrong.
