A fourth legal expert, whom Republicans invited, cautioned the Democrat-led House against moving forward with impeaching the president.
The House Judiciary Committee announced on Thursday that it will hold a second hearing on Monday.
The hearing is "to receive presentations from counsels" to the House intelligence and judiciary panels and lawyers of both parties will be present, according to an announcement.
House Democrats are looking into whether Trump abused his office by pressuring Ukraine into launching investigations that could benefit him politically. Lawmakers are also examining whether the Republican conditioned a White House meeting or a military aid to Ukraine on those probes.
The articles of impeachment under consideration are reportedly abuse of power and bribery, obstruction of Congress, and obstruction of justice.
Polls have shown U.S. voters are also largely divided along party lines over impeachment.
The White House has so far refused to cooperate with the impeachment proceeding, accusing Democrats of an unfair process, but suggested on Thursday that it would likely be part of the Senate trial.
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway told reporters at the White House that they are "very ready" for the trial.
The Senate process, she said, "would include live witnesses who have visibility and knowledge into facts." White House counsel Pat Cipollone would likely testify, she added.
