Schiff says he won't permit GOP naming the Ukraine whistleblower in Trump impeachment hearings
Rep. Adam Schiff warns Republicans against revealing the identity of the whistleblower whose bombshell complaint helped launch an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Representative Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, waits for the start of an impeachment inquiry hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019.The House Intelligence Committee opened its historic impeachment hearing to the public Wednesday with Chairman Adam Schiff warning Republicans not to reveal the identity of the whistleblower whose bombshell complaint helped launch the probe of President Donald Trump.
Trump asked Zelenskiy in that call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, who at the time was the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary, and his son, Hunter. Trump also requested that Zelenskiy "do us a favor though" and investigate a conspiracy theory about Ukraine's alleged interference in the 2016 election.
Schiff, who opened the hearing by laying out a timeline of Trump's efforts toward Ukraine, was interrupted early in the hearing by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., about the potential witnesses that Republicans had requested."The only times I prevented witnesses from answering questions" in prior closed-door hearings "was when it was apparent that members were seeking to out the whistleblower," Schiff responded.

Breaking: Chairman Schiff says Dems can impeach Trump for briberyOn the eve of the historic impeachment hearing, the top impeachment investigator, Rep. Adam Schiff tells NPR there is enough evidence to impeach Trump for bribery, for abusing “official” powers of the presidency and because Trump was “offering official acts for some personal or political reason.” Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman says the bribery case is a major part of “their opening statement.” Demos’ Heather McGhee says “history will be made” but it’s more than “television optics” but making the “very plain case” against Trump.
