House Judiciary preparing vote on impeachment hearing rules

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee is escalating its impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump, preparing a vote as soon as next Wednesday to establish procedures for hearings the panel hopes to hold this fall. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said just before the recess that the committee is already in an impeachment investigation as it has called multiple witnesses related to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and sued the White House for blocking testimony. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the Judiciary panel who has backed impeachment proceedings, said, “That’s a legitimate thing for us to think about, and it’s a political puzzle we have to solve over the next few months.” The committee’s impeachment vote, which was first reported by Politico, will come as the panel has signaled it will broaden its impeachment probe beyond Mueller’s report. The committees said there have been “multiple efforts” by Trump and administration officials to spend federal money at his properties, including Vice President Mike Pence’s stay this week at a Trump resort in Doonbeg, Ireland.
