What’s next as House committees launch impeachment probes

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — House Democrats are planning a rapid start to their push for impeachment of President Donald Trump, with hearings and depositions starting this coming week. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., said they will have to “work harder” and “sleep less.” ___ LONG WITNESS LIST, QUICK TIMELINE Schiff’s committee has been negotiating to interview the whistleblower who began the firestorm by reporting to the inspector general for the intelligence community that Trump had urged the investigations on a July phone call with Zelenskiy. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said the Intelligence Committee will be the “star of the show” as it investigates Trump’s activities related to Ukraine. California Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, said Thursday that Democrats “don’t want answers, they want a public spectacle.” “They have been trying to reverse the results of the 2016 election since President Trump took office,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. ___ SLOWER SENATE If the House votes to approve charges against Trump, the Republican-led Senate would then hold a trial. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., has said his committee will investigate the Ukraine matter but “don’t expect us to move at light speed — that will probably happen in the House.” ___ A NOD TO HISTORY Trump would join a rare group if the House moves forward toward impeachment.
