BREAKING: The White House informed House Democrats that it will not participate in the Judiciary Committee’s first impeachment hearing
House Democrats won’t wait on possibly insider testimony,“This is a failure of the Judiciary Committee to be able to talk to fact witnesses, to be able to talk to the people that have actually been a part of this, and actually have the president viably participate in his own defense — which he’s not had the opportunity to do now,” the Georgia Republican said on “Fox News Sunday.“
“It is too late to cure the profound procedural deficiencies that have tainted this entire inquiry,” Cipollone wrote Sunday, adding: “We cannot fairly be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the Judiciary Committee will afford the president a fair process through additional hearings.”
Wednesday’s hearing will be the first in a series the Judiciary Committee holds as it prepares to draft articles of impeachment against the president. House Democratic leaders are aiming to wrap up the impeachment process by the end of the year.
