House impeachment would be a significant historical moment.
WASHINGTON — The 10th and final public impeachment hearing in the House lurched forward Thursday, as the House Judiciary Committee moved toward a vote that would send articles of impeachment to the full House floor for a final vote next week.
“This committee finally accomplished its goal,” said Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the top Republican on the committee, mocking Democrats who he said have wanted to impeach President Trump since his inauguration in 2017. Lofgren compared Republican arguments in favor of impeaching Clinton in 1998 to their arguments now against impeaching Trump, saying their logic was that “somehow lying about a sexual affair is an abuse of presidential power, but the misuse of presidential power to get a benefit somehow doesn’t matter.”
The two Republicans on the committee present in 1998 — Reps. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin and Steve Chabot of Ohio — argued back.The back-and-forth was spirited but far less charged than on Monday, when Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., had to gavel down interruptions and objections from Republicans.
“We’re here today because the president abused his power,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., noting that Trump publicly invited Russian interference in the 2016 election and has publicly stated he’d like China to investigate Biden as well. Biden is the leading Democratic candidate for president. The House Intelligence Committee held seven hearings over five days in November, hearing witness testimony from 12 peoples, which built the fact record beyond an initial whistleblower complaint filed Aug. 12 and released publicly in early September, and led to the release of a call record of the July 25 phone conversation between Trump and the Ukrainian president.
