What to watch for next in the rapidly unfolding impeachment inquiry.
It’s been only five weeks since Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, and developments continue to unfold at a breakneck pace.After several days of Republicans and President Trump hammering the impeachment inquiry as illegitimate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi abruptly switched course this week and announced a resolution she said would affirm the ongoing investigation and create a process for open hearings. That vote could happen as early as Thursday.
“My impression is there will not be a lot of breaks,” Comstock told Devin Dwyer Tuesday on ABC News Live's"The Briefing Room."Former Republican @RepComstock weighs in on the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry after the text of an impeachment resolution is posted:"I think unfortunately they started on a very partisan tone." https://t.co/NNXSQSH5Y0 pic.twitter.
Even if only a few Republicans vote in favor of an impeachment inquiry, any crossover by members of the president's party will serve as a black eye to Trump ahead of the 2020 election. "I just believe it's the right thing to do,” he said. “I think we've spent all this time and all this money, all this energy, all this effort, and all this toxicity exists here, because of what's going on. I want to get bills done."
In closed-door testimony, Vindman has already told Congress he thought it wasn’t “proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen” – a reference to Trump pressing Ukraine’s president to launch an investigation that included Democrat Joe Biden and Biden’s son, Hunter. Vindman said he thought a foreign-led investigation into Trump’s political rival would “undermine U.S. national security.
So far, Republicans have sidestepped questions on substance and stuck with the argument against the process. That didn’t change even after Pelosi’s announcement of a resolution blessing the inquiry.
