How To Watch Trump Impeachment Live Stream: House Judiciary Committee Reconvenes Inquiry

The House Judiciary Committee convenes its second impeachment inquiry into President Trump Monday with testimony from lawyers for Democrats and Republicans.

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed the committee to begin drafting articles of impeachment. Testifying Monday are committee majority counsel Barry Burke and minority counsel Stephen Castor.

Castor also will be testifying on behalf of the House Intelligence Committee while Daniel Goldman will be testifying on behalf of the intelligence panel's majority.

"There is considerable direct evidence," Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

He added: "It ill behooves a president or his partisans to say you don't have enough direct evidence when the reason we don't have even more evidence is the President has ordered everybody in the executive branch not to cooperate with Congress in the impeachment inquiry."

The White House Friday notified the committee it would not be sending any representatives to the hearing.

The impeachment inquiry was touched off by a whistleblower complaint about Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky during which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory.

Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the ranking Republican accused Democrats of orchestrating a fairy tale just because they don't like Trump.

"Where's the impeachable offense? Why are we here?" Collins asked.

Republicans they attempted to bicker with Nadler over requests for a minority-led hearing before articles of impeachment are drafted.

In opening the hearing, Nadler said: “Every fact alleged by the whistleblower has been substantiated by multiple witnesses. … The allegations also match up with the president’s own words as released by the White House."
