(AP/KSAT) – The House Intelligence Committee is set to hear testimony from two career diplomats on Wednesday over their concerns about a possible quid pro quo involving President Donald Trump.
The public hearing comes after weeks of closed-door depositions, a process that Republicans attacked.
David Crockett, chair of the political science department at Trinity University, said moving the hearings into the public eye is a crucial step.
If the House Intelligence Committee decides to move forward with the impeachment inquiry, it will head to the Judiciary Committee.
“I think the odds of impeaching the president (in the House) are very successful because all you need is a simple majority, and Democrats don’t like Donald Trump,” Crockett said.
