'As an initial matter, most of this will be done in secret, behind closed doors,' Nick Akerman, a former Watergate prosecutor, told CNN about the impeachment inquiry.
"The President must be held accountable. No one is above the law," Pelosi said in a press conference announcing the inquiry."Actions taken to date by the President have seriously violated the Constitution."
However, a lot of the investigation is likely to be hidden from the public to protect the whistleblower's identity, former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman told CNN on Monday. The House Intelligence Committee also warned lawmakers to be prepared for a Ukraine-related public hearing sometime this week.
After the end of the probes, each committee will provide input into whether they think Trump should be impeached and on what grounds. The House Judiciary Committee is then responsible for any official articles and a vote on whether to take the matter to the House floor where it would need a simple majority to move on to the Senate.
