Rep. Doug Collins said Republicans on the Judiciary Committee would have House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff testify in their impeachment hearing
Rep. Doug Collins said Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee would have House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff testify in their impeachment hearing and claimed the parameters of the impeachment investigation were skewed against the president.
"If he chooses not to" testify, Collins said Sunday of Schiff , "then I really question his veracity in what he's putting in his report."The Intelligence Committee is expected to release its report on its impeachment investigation Monday. If the committee votes Tuesday to approve the findings, the Judiciary Committee will begin hearings Wednesday in order to draft articles of impeachment. Collins is the ranking Republican on the Judiciary panel.
"Why are they hiding the stuff from us?" Collins said. "If they think they have such a case, give us all the materials and don't let Jerry Nadler write a crazy letter that says on the sixth, let us know who your witnesses are. We don't even have the information from the Intel committee yet. This is why this is a problematic exercise and simply a made-for-TV event coming on Wednesday.
House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee, said no timeline has been set but cited House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in saying that they would “act expeditiously”.next week on Wednesday as Democrats move quickly to the next stage of the impeachment process.
