House Intel Cmte. Chairman Schiff says on MeetThePress that it's 'urgent' for the House to move forward with its impeachment inquiry following 2 weeks of 'overwhelming evidence' during public hearings.
The committee also heard from various diplomats and White House officials who shared their concerns with the president’s conduct, particularly on the July phone call with the Ukrainian president that prompted a whistleblower complaint that sparked the inquiry.
If a majority of the full House agrees to articles of impeachment, it will be up to the Senate to hold a trial to see if Trump will be removed from office. But Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who would serve as one of the jurors in a Senate impeachment trial, disagreed with Schiff’s optimism about the Democrats’ impeachment case.
He criticized Schiff for not calling the whistleblower to testify because Republicans might want to “cross-examine” that person to stress-test their case.
