What to expect as Trump impeachment hearings kick off
The first public hearings in the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Trump begin Wednesday, when Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent are scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in an open session. Marie Yovanovitch, the ousted U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, will testify Friday.
What will the witnesses say?While we don’t know exactly what they will say in public, we do know what they said in private. Who will be doing the questioning?House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and ranking GOP member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will each be allotted 45 minutes for questioning — but both are expected to yield most of their time to designated staff attorneys: Steve Castor for the Republicans and Daniel Goldman for the Democrats. After that, committee members will have 5 minutes each. For Republicans, that includes Rep.
Will Trump be watching?If the president’s Twitter feed during past high-profile hearings is any indication, then yes. However, Trump is also welcoming Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the White House on Wednesday, with a joint press conference scheduled for 3:10 p.m. ET — right in the middle of Kent’s testimony.
