In a six-page letter released on December 17, Trump told Pelosi that "history will judge you harshly."
The letter was released as the House Rules Committee approved legislation that provides for six hours of debate, followed by final votes on two articles of impeachment -- formal charges -- against Trump.
Pelosi said in her letter that impeachment was "one of the most solemn powers granted to us by the Constitution," while urging all Democratic members of the House to be present.
Trump faces one charge of abuse of power and another on obstruction of Congress over efforts to prod Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, including former Vice President Joe Biden, while withholding $391 million in military assistance to Kyiv.
