House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced Tuesday afternoon he will hold his first impeachment inquiry hearing next week. This comes as he considers what articles of impeachment to draft based on "evidence" from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.

"The Committee intends this hearing to serve as an opportunity to discuss the historical and constitutional basic of impeachment, as well as the Framers' intent and understanding of terms like 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' We expect to discuss the constitutional framework through which the House may analyze the evidence gathered in the present inquiry. We will also discuss whether your alleged actions warrant the House's exercising its authority to adopt article of impeachment," Nadler wrote in a letter to President Trump.

"If you would like to participate in the hearing, please provide the Committee with notice as soon as possible. But no later than by 6:00 pm on December 1, 2019. By that time, I ask that you also indicate who will act as your counsel for these proceedings," he continued. "While we invite you to this hearing, we remind you that if you continue to refuse to make witnesses and documents available to the committee of jurisdiction...'the chair shall have the discretion to impose appropriate remedies.'"

Public support for impeachment *dropped* over the course Adam Schiff's hearings, w/ independents reversing course. But with some House Democrats reportedly getting "cold feet," I think Pelosi is too far down this path to pull the plug: https://t.co/q9oAQj5n7O

For months, Nadler has been fundraising off of impeachment and telling far left constituents he plans to move forward.

House Judiciary Impeachment Hearing Announced, Nadler to Take Over

The House Judiciary Committee announced Tuesday that a hearing on the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is slated for Dec. 4.

Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement that “our first task is to explore the framework put in place to respond to serious allegations of impeachable misconduct like those against President Trump,” The Hill reported.

The hearing was dubbed “the Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment” and will include legal experts to apply constitutional law to “facts that have been found,” the report said.

Nadler also sent a letter (pdf) to Trump and said his committee will allow the hearing to provide an “opportunity to discuss the historical and constitutional basis of impeachment, as well as the Framers’ intent and understanding of terms like ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.'”

“We will also discuss whether your alleged actions warrant the House’s exercising its authority to adopt articles of impeachment,” the letter read.

Nadler also said he hopes that Trump and his counsel will participate in the Judiciary Committee hearing. The ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee is Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.).

“I have also written to President Trump to remind him that the Committee’s impeachment inquiry rules allow for the President to attend the hearing and for his counsel to question the witness panel,” Nadler wrote. “The Committee looks forward to your participation in the impeachment inquiry as the Committee fulfills its constitutional duties,” the letter also read.

The Dec. 4 hearing follows closed-door depositions including the Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs committees. After that, two weeks of public hearings in front of the Intelligence Committee took place on how Trump handled the foreign policy in Ukraine.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Monday that his panel is creating a report that will be delivered to Nadler and his committee.

“What is left to us now is to decide whether [Trump’s] behavior is compatible with the office of the presidency,” he wrote in the letter, “and whether the Constitutional process of impeachment is warranted.”

Schiff then said he hopes that Republican lawmakers will go along with the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry. In a procedural vote on the inquiry last month, all Republicans and two Democrats voted against it.

“I urge all members to find guidance from our oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution,” he wrote. “For the people, we must defend our Democracy.”

Trump and other White House officials have denied the allegations as well, with the president calling it another witch hunt by Democrats.
