Watch Live: House Rules Committee Marks Up Impeachment Inquiry Resolution

Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.

The House Rules Committee is debating a resolution establishing the procedures for holding public hearings in in the ongoing impeachment inquiries.

Of note, the White House says the resolution "confirms" that the inquiry "has been an illegitimate sham from the start," according to CBS News.

The House Rules Committee is meeting on Capitol Hill to "mark up" a resolution unveiled by Democrats on Tuesday that establishes protocols for the next phase of the impeachment inquiry. Democratic leaders say they plan to bring it to a full House vote on Thursday.

The measure as currently written directs "certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes."

The White House rejected the resolution and said it shows the inquiry "has been an illegitimate sham from the start." Top GOP leaders in the House wrote a letter to the chairman of the Rules Committee on Tuesday, accusing Democrats of flouting House rules by failing to post the text of the resolution 72 hours before a vote. –CBS News
