Plus, what Tuesday's blue wave indicates for Trump in 2020
| | | | | | | | | | | House Democrats Announce Public Impeachment Hearings Next Week | | | | | | | | | House Democrats will launch a major new phase of their impeachment inquiry next week with public hearings that will feature three State Department officials who have testified about their concerns about President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is leading the impeachment investigation, announced Wednesday that the committee will hear from top Ukraine diplomat William Taylor, career department official George Kent and former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch in hearings next Wednesday and Friday. All three have already testified behind closed doors in the first phase of the investigation. Yovanovitch, who was ousted in May at Trump's direction, told investigators she had been told to "watch my back" and that people were "looking to hurt" her. Both Kent and Taylor testified about their concerns about her ouster as the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, took a leading role on Ukraine policy. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Democrats made major gains in state-level elections across the country on Tuesday, revealing President Donald Trump's weakness in even the reddest of states and putting the lie to the idea of a massive voter backlash against House Democrats' impeachment inquiry.
