Democrats push impeachment to next phase with Dec. 4 hearing
WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee is set to take over the impeachment probe of President Donald Trump, Democrats announced Tuesday, scheduling a hearing for next week as they push closer to a possible vote on actual charges of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”The Judiciary panel scheduled the hearing as the separate Intelligence Committee released two last transcripts from its depositions, including from a White House budget official who detailed concerns among colleagues as President Trump ordered them, through intermediaries, to put a hold on military aid to Ukraine.President Trump ordered the hold as he was pressuring Ukraine’s president to investigate Democrats — the issue at the heart of the impeachment probe.The Intelligence Committee is wrapping up the investigative phase of the probe and preparing its report for the next.The initial Judiciary hearing on Dec. 4 will feature legal experts who will examine questions of constitutional grounds as the panel decides whether to write articles of impeachment against President Trump — and if so what those articles will be.Democrats are aiming for a final House vote by Christmas, which would set the stage for a likely Senate trial in January.Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said Tuesday that his panel’s hearing will “explore the framework put in place to respond to serious allegations of impeachable misconduct.”President Trump and his lawyers are invited to attend the Judiciary hearing and make a request to question witnesses, according to Democratic rules approved by the House last month.
