The House impeachment inquiry shifts into a new phase next week with a public hearing in the Judiciary Committee where President Donald Trump will be invited to present his defense, according to Chairman Jerrold Nadler.
The hearing aims to explain the constitutional framework for impeachment and the term “high crimes and misdemeanors” as well as whether Trump’s actions as detailed in the evidence gathered so far warrant articles of impeachment, Nadler said Tuesday in a letter to Trump, notifying him of the process.
