The popular betting website PredictIt saw its odds of President Donald Trump's impeachment in the House soar on Tuesday, rising as high as $0.62 for a "yes" call.

The latest price, the highest seen for the bet throughout Trump's presidency, was more than double Saturday's closing price for the same call.

PredictIt's official rules outline the bet as the House of Representatives passing at least one article of impeachment against Trump during his first term. The site doesn't require a trial or a conviction in the Senate for the betting market to reach a "yes" conclusion.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to announce an official impeachment inquiry on Tuesday after months of pressure, multiple news outlets reported.
