Impeachment Hearing FAQ: Who Will Testify And How The Questioning Will Work
Public impeachment hearings begin Wednesday, and the first round of witnesses include three career public servants who have testified behind closed doors that President Trump did link military aid and a White House meeting for Ukraine with a promise to investigate one of the president's domestic political opponents.
"The American people will hear firsthand about the President's misconduct," Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said of the open hearings.
Congressional Republicans continue to back the president and denounce the impeachment inquiry as an effort to undo the results of the 2016 election. They have largely focused their complaints on the process, but some have also sought to discredit key witnesses and others have argued that the July call with Ukraine that set off the inquiry was "perfect."
