Several House Republicans will join President Trump's impeachment team following an internal debate
Washington The White House announced Monday that it will add several House Republicans to President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment team in what appear to be largely ceremonial roles following an internal debate over whether they should be included.
The House members -- Reps. Doug Collins of Georgia, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Debbie Lesko of Arizona, Mark Meadows of North Carolina, John Ratcliffe of Texas, Elise Stefanik of New York and Lee Zeldin of New York -- are not expected to speak on the Senate floor, a source familiar with the legal team's plans told CNN. Instead, the group will serve as outside advisers and surrogates, a separate source said.
