Trump news – live: Angry president cuts short Nato summit trip and rages at Trudeau, as Congress launches next stage of impeachment after damning report

 

Donald Trump has suffered fresh humiliation after world leaders Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron were filmed apparently laughing behind his back at a Nato reception at Buckingham Palace in London. The US president slammed the Canadian prime minister as "two-faced" to reporters shortly after, while announcing the abrupt cancellation of a press conference later that day, saying he would insteads be returning home.

Back in Washington, the House Judiciary Committee was preparing to hold its first public impeachment hearing into the president after House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff published a damning 300-page report detailing “overwhelming evidence of misconduct” by Mr Trump and his inner circle over Ukraine, with call records dragging Rudy Giuliani and Devin Nunes further into the scandal.

The committee will open the next stage of the impeachment inquiry by going over the report’s findings and taking testimony from four constitutional scholars as the president wraps the second day of the summit in Hertfordshire.
