Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway sparred with Fox News’ Chris Wallace Sunday on whether the White House would cooperate with the House’s impeachment inquiry following a vote to formalize the process.
President Trump’s counselor, Kellyanne Conway, said Sunday that she doesn’t know if military aid was withheld from Ukraine because the White House wanted the nation to look into 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said on Sunday that there will be public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump “very very soon.”
“Time is not constraining us, the truth and the facts are constraining us. We are going to move as soon as the facts and the truth dictate,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
A top House Democrat predicted on Sunday that the lower chamber would move forward with a vote on impeachment against President Trump without support from GOP lawmakers.
"This administration is doing everything to make sure that witnesses don't get a chance to come and be heard. And why are they hiding it?" Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.) asked on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the No. 2 Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, defended the House’s party-line vote on formalizing procedures in its impeachment inquiry, saying the vote was the result of the GOP being a “personality cult for Donald Trump.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) blasted the House’s impeachment inquiry process Sunday, arguing that removing President Trump would represent an undoing of the 2016 presidential election, even as CBS’s Margaret Brennan reminded him that Vice President Pence would in that case become president.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) did not directly answer questions on Sunday about whether it was acceptable for President Trump to ask Ukraine to look into his political opponents.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that President Trump did not commit any "high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) criticized the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump in an interview that aired Sunday, saying there is "very little likelihood that the president will be removed."
“The downsides of that, the entire country get engrossed in this impeachment process,” presidential candidate Andrew Yang said. “And then, we’re gonna look up and be facing Donald Trump in the general election and we will not have made a real case to the American people.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the top choice among 2020 Democratic primary voters and holds a double-digit lead over President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, a recent Fox News poll finds.
Frontrunner Joe Biden’s support held steady in a new poll of the 2020 Democratic presidential race that saw Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg make gains.
South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Sunday criticized a health care plan by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a fellow 2020 White House hopeful, as a “my way or the highway idea.”
Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to President Trump, said he’s “cautiously optimistic” that the U.S. and China will sign the first phase of a trade deal.
