A ‘closed-door’ impeachment process: Three questions.
As the Democratic-led House impeachment probe into President Donald Trump rapidly moves forward, Republicans are increasingly crying foul – calling the process secretive and unfair.
A scene of chaos and protest unfolded on Capitol Hill Wednesday, as a group of Republican lawmakers pushed their way into a secure hearing room, violating a no-devices rule there and delaying the testimony of Pentagon official Laura Cooper by five hours. Republicans said the move was an attempt to draw attention to their concerns. Democrats called it a stunt and a distraction.
One key GOP objection:
What do the rules say about closed sessions in impeachment inquiries?Who’s in the room and what happens there? Could closed sessions undermine public trust in the process?
