(CNN) - The president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, announced a formal political trial investigation to Donald Trump.

• Trump says he will publish the transcript of his call with the President of Ukraine

Pelosi says he ordered a "political trial investigation" about President Trump's actions. "The president must be accountable," he said. He added that "nobody is above the law."

Pelosi said six commissions will continue to investigate under a powerful new umbrella of a political trial investigation.

Pelosi asked Trump this morning to divulge the informant's complaint about Ukraine, according to two sources.

A source in the room where Pelosi met with the bench added that Pelosi said that “the director of National Intelligence has decided to break the law. The law is clear. "

“This is a betrayal of our national security. A betrayal of our choice, ”he said. "It has taken him to another level of betrayal, therefore, we are moving forward with another level of investigation," Pelosi said at the meeting.

6 commissions will investigate under the umbrella of the political trial investigation, says a Democratic lawmaker

Democratic representative Richard Neal said each of the six commissions will continue to investigate under the umbrella of a political trial investigation.

"The other commissions will act under the umbrella of the formal investigation," Neal, chairman of the Ways and Forms Commission of the House of Representatives, told CNN, who has just left the office of the president of the House, Pelosi.

160 House Democrats support a political trial investigation

The number of House Democrats who support a political trial investigation of President Trump is increasing.

Of the 235 Democrats in the House, there are at least 160 who have made it clear that they support starting the political trial investigation process, while some have gone further, according to a CNN count.

Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a former Republican who has since become independent, has also called for political trial procedures, bringing the total number of representatives to 161.

The White House says the political trial investigation reports "are nothing new"

The White House said that reports that the House of Representatives president, Nancy Pelosi, will announce a formal investigation of a political trial "is nothing new."

"Democrats continue to put together politics when they should work on behalf of their constituents, which is nothing new," White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. “President Trump is working hard on behalf of our country here in New York as they continue to shout the word political trial. Nothing new here. ”
