House Democrats: “Two Weeks Of Testimony. One Story Of Betrayal”

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 13: (L-R) Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), Democratic Counsel Daniel Goldman, Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Republican Counsel Steve Castor listen to top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William B. Taylor Jr. testify during the first public hearings held by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence as part of the impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill November 13, 2019 in Washington, DC. In the first public impeachment hearings in more than two decades, House Democrats are trying to build a case that President Donald Trump committed extortion, bribery or coercion by trying to enlist Ukraine to investigate his political rival in exchange for military aide and a White House meeting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sought with Trump.

Today is a pivotal day in the impeachment inquiry and the House Democrats are laying out their case. They have released a video that summarizes the two weeks of public impeachment hearings declaring:

“The facts aren’t contested, only whether Republicans will do their duty and stand up.”

Two weeks of testimony.

One story of betrayal, abuse of power and a President who thinks he is above the law. #DefendOurDemocracy pic.twitter.com/iQhze3fu2d

The House Intelligence Committee is set to release a report today laying out the case for impeachment. The panel is set to vote on drafting articles of impeachment at 6pm today.

Evidence of Trump's obstruction of Congress is overwhelming.

If we allow it to succeed, it will mean future presidents can simply ignore Congressional subpoenas & oversight,

Fundamentally altering the balance of power and paving the way for unchecked corruption and malfeasance. pic.twitter.com/idrsJtpfWp
