House Republicans offered a preview of their defense strategy as Democrats’ drive to impeach Trump moves to its next phase
Democrats plan to highlight these claims in their own report, which is expected to be released Tuesday evening after it is approved by the House Intelligence Committee.
The document also seeks to justify Trump’s push for an investigation into Biden’s son Hunter over his role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company — even though the former vice president is a potential political rival. Republicans argue in the report that Democrats have not unearthed evidence that Trump committed bribery or extortion when he withheld a White House meeting from Zelensky in addition to military assistance to defend against Russian aggression. Throughout the public hearings, Republicans noted that none of the witnesses said they heard directly from Trump that the aid was conditioned on the investigations.
House Democrats, though, are likely to draft an article of impeachment focused on the Trump administration's attempts to stonewall the impeachment inquiry, in addition to other investigations Democrats have pursued. GOP aides signaled, however, that they intend to focus on the substance of the impeachment debate as well.
