What you need to know about the impeachment hearings
When millions of Americans tune in to the House’s impeachment hearings, it won’t be what they regularly see on C-SPAN.
Three key witnesses will testify before the committee. On Wednesday, William Taylor and George Kent are expected to appear; on Friday, it’s Marie Yovanovitch. To aid that goal, Democrats have taken several steps, including placing the inquiry with the Intelligence Committee. The panel has the fewest lawmakers in the House, with 13 Democrats and nine Republicans, and most aren’t known for grandstanding or theatrics — though there are a few notable exceptions.
Trump and Republicans also have demanded that the president’s lawyers and White House counsel be permitted to participate, a request Democrats have rejected. However, Trump will be allowed to be represented when the Judiciary Committee drafts impeachment articles in the next few weeks.If you’re watching impeachment hearings at home, you’ve probably heard of Schiff, Nunes and Jim Jordan.
