Democrats will hold public hearings with key impeachment investigation witnesses in the House Intelligence Committee, multiple congressional sources tell Yahoo News.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., released a statement after Yahoo News first reported this news confirming that “open hearings … will be conducted by the House Intelligence Committee as part of the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry.”
