The House Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday will begin the first of several public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and for only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.
The House of Representatives has been conducting closed-door hearings in the inquiry, which is looking into charges that Trump attempted to coerce Ukraine, a foreign government, to launch an investigation into political rival Joe Biden and his son. Those hearings began September 24 and could wrap before the end of the year.
Today marks the first time in the process that witnesses will testify in open session, and broadcast and cable networks are planning full-court coverage Wednesday and Friday. Most plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Today’s testimony begins at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT with two witnesses: Bill Taylor, the State Department’s Chargé d’Affaires Ad Interim, Kyiv, Ukraine, and George Kent, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs. Friday’s session at 9 AM ET/6 AM PT is testimony from Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S, Ambassador to Kyiv, Ukraine, on behalf of the State Department. All previously testified behind closed doors.
Eight more witnesses will testify next week: Jennifer Williams and Alexander Vindman on Tuesday morning, Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison on Tuesday afternoon; Gordon Sondland on Wednesday morning and Laura Cooper and David Hale on Wednesday afternoon; and Fiona Hill on Thursday.
