Trump news - live:‘Can you believe this?’ President rages at ‘garbage’ Democrat impeachment investigation

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said he expects a “meaningful, substantive” meeting with Mr Trump this week and has reiterated his country’s need for US support, Reuters reports.

However, in comments released by his office today, Mr Zelenskiy did not refer to the allegations that Mr Trump pressured him to investigate Joe Biden in exchange for US military aid.

The Ukrainian president will be meeting with Mr Trump during a trip to the United States for the UN General Assembly this week.

Mr Trump is supposed to be meeting Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, in New York today but that might change as the UK Supreme Court has just dropped a damaging ruling for Mr Johnson's government.

The court ruled this morning that Mr Johnson’s suspension of parliament was unlawful, meaning MPs will be called back to work tomorrow.

It is currently unclear at this time if Mr Johnson’s schedule is expected to change.

On Mr Trump’s relationship with Ukraine, our reporter Chris Baynes has the full story on the allegations that the president withheld $400m in military aid days before his controversial call with the country's leader.

Another Democratic member of Congress has come forward to call for an impeachment inquiry.

Haley Stevens, a congresswoman for Michigan, has said Mr Trump’s alleged actions represent “an impeachable offence” if they are confirmed.

This is strange. Russia’s foreign ministry has said 10 members of its delegation to the UN General Assembly have been denied US visas, AP reports.

Maria Zakharova, a foreign ministry spokesperson, told Russian news agencies that Moscow is “outraged” that its members were denied visas ahead of the event in New York.

She said the visa applications were returned with an explanation that they had been submitted too early but were returned too late to be resubmitted.

Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, has accused the United States of breaking its international obligations by preventing the Russian officials from traveling to the event.

Here’s why Haley Stevens backing impeachment is an important development for Democrats.

As Politico’s Melanie Zanona has noted, Ms Stevens is a member of the “frontliner” group – a list of 44 Democratic incumbents who are thought to be vulnerable in the 2020 election.

That’s important because if vulnerable Democrats are getting behind impeachment that suggests the potential political consequences of an inquiry no longer outweigh the ethical argument for an investigation.

Bernie Sanders has announced his “extreme wealth tax”, which he says will fund his Medicare for All healthcare plan and other initiatives by taxing fortunes worth more than $32m.

Here’s how the tax would work in brief:

In a statement alongside the announcement, Mr Sanders said: “Enough is enough. We are going to take on the billionaire class, substantially reduce wealth inequality in America and stop our democracy from turning into a corrupt oligarchy."

When asked by the New York Times’ Thomas Kaplan if he thought billionaires should exist in the United States, Mr Sanders simply replied: “I don’t think that billionaires should exist.”

We’ll have to wait and see if the plan is enough to wrestle some momentum off Elizabeth Warren on the left-wing of the Democratic primary.

Three Democrats have just backed impeachment, including another member of Congress from the important “frontline” group of vulnerable 2020 representatives.

Antonio Delgado has joined Haley Stevens from the frontline group, while representative Tom Souzzi has also backed an impeachment inquiry.

Meanwhile in the Senate, Connecticut’s Chris Murphy has come forward for an inquiry – arguing that “the seriousness of the moment requires all of us to speak out in order to preserve our nation’s commitment to the rule of law”.

This tweet from British journalist Robert Peston suggests Mr Trump’s meeting with Boris Johnson is still set to go ahead as he is expected to fly back to the UK overnight tonight.

That means we could be getting the president’s take on the UK court’s controversial ruling later today.

Elizabeth Warren, who has repeatedly called for impeachment since April, has just tweeted that an investigation into Mr Trump “must start today."
