'If (President Trump) has not done anything wrong, we're certainly anxious to hear his explanation,' Rep. Val Demings, a member of both the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees, tells MarthaRaddatz.
Reps. Val Demings, D-Fla., and Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said on ABC's"This Week" that they think having President Donald Trump or his lawyers participate in Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing would be in the president's best interests.
Demings, a member of both the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees, said in a separate interview with Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz,"Our main focus right now is to have the president and his counsel -- who you know are given the same privileges as President Nixon and President Clinton had -- to participate and engage in this impeachment process."
She said that she believes all evidence on impeachment will be included in the Intelligence Committee's report and added that the Judiciary Committee had not made a decision on how many hearings it would have or if it will call fact witnesses. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler sent a letter to President Donald Trump this past week reminding him that he and his lawyers have a right to attend the upcoming hearing.
