House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Wednesday vowed to move swiftly to impeach Pres. Trump if his committee finds that Trump committed an impeachable offense, kicking off a process that could lead to the third impeachment of a President in US history.
"Never before, in the history of the republic, have we been forced to consider the conduct of a president who appears to have solicited personal, political favors from a foreign government," Nadler, a Democrat from New York, said as he opened his committee's first impeachment hearing.
Three of the legal professors invited by Democrats — Harvard University's Noah Feldman, Stanford University's Pamela Karlan and Gerhardt — all plan to testify that Trump committed impeachable offenses. Jonathan Turley, the George Washington University law professor who is the Republican witness, argued that Democrats failed to meet that standard with their investigation into Trump.
