House Democrats unveil impeachment probe parameters
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump's attorneys would be permitted to review some of Congresss impeachment-related evidence under a set of procedures unveiled Monday by the House Judiciary Committee, part of a plan to spell out the panels authorities as it intensifies its consideration of articles of impeachment.
The measure, obtained by POLITICO, would also allow smaller groups of lawmakers on the Judiciary panels subcommittees to consider evidence a step that could streamline and hasten its review. It would also allow committee staffers for both the Democratic and Republican sides of the panel to question witnesses for an extra hour, part of an effort to elicit more useful information.
The Judiciary Committee will vote on the resolution on Thursday.
The unprecedented corruption, coverup, and crimes by the president are under investigation by the committee as we determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment or other Article 1 remedies, Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
