What to expect from Monday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment summation hearing
Republican and Democratic lawyers are set to present impeachment evidence at the House Judiciary Committee's latest hearing.
The House Judiciary Committee on Monday will hold its second public hearing in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. The hearing will kick off with opening statements by Democratic counsel Barry Berke and Republican counsel Stephen Castor; from there, Democratic counsel Daniel Goldman will lay out the evidence for impeaching Trump, while Castor will lay out the evidence against, The New York Times reports. They'll be using evidence gathered by the House Intelligence Committee.
The Republican and Democratic lawyers will have 90 minutes to present evidence, per Vox, at which point committee members will be able to ask questions. Politico in previewing the hearing notes that "lawmakers will have their crack at a congressional staffer, which can create a unique dynamic. They can be much more firm, direct and, to be frank, rude with someone who works on the Hill." The hearing is expected to stretch into the late afternoon. House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) says articles of impeachment are likely to be drated later this week.
