House Judiciary schedules first impeachment hearing as Trump claims he is protecting the presidency
The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled its first impeachment hearing for Dec. 4, as Democrats press forward with their inquiry into President Trump’s actions toward Ukraine.
The announcement came hours after Trump said Tuesday that he would “love” for several senior administration officials to testify in the impeachment inquiry but that the White House was preventing them from doing so to protect the institution of the presidency.
Later Tuesday, Trump is expected to head to Florida, where he will stage a campaign rally as House investigators pull together a report on his conduct toward Ukraine that will inform the House Judiciary Committee as it weighs articles of impeachment.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department formally appealed Monday’s ruling by a federal judge that former White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with a House subpoena.
