Schiff, not Nadler, to handle impeachment witness testimony in break from precedent by jonward11
WASHINGTON—Democrats will hold public hearings with key impeachment investigation witnesses in the House Intelligence Committee, multiple congressional sources tell Yahoo News.
Under past precedent in 1974 and 1998 — the last two times the House conducted an impeachment inquiry — the House Judiciary Committee was the hub for investigations, hearings, and a committee vote on articles of impeachment. And so a House resolution that will be voted on this coming Thursday will lay out procedure for how the Intelligence Committee, which usually operates largely behind closed doors for national security reasons, will hold witness testimony in a public hearing.
The resolution will also spell out that the Judiciary Committee will still handle articles of impeachment, meaning they will hold hearings on the language of the articles and will vote on whether to send them to the full House for a vote.
