Megathread: House committee adopts new procedures for impeachment investigation of President Trump Posted: 12 Sep 2019 07:40 AM PDT The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee moved to intensify its investigation of Republican President Donald Trump on Thursday, as lawmakers edged closer to deciding whether to recommend his impeachment. The 41-member panel met to debate a resolution allowing it to designate hearings as impeachment proceedings, subject witnesses to more aggressive questioning and quicken the pace of an investigation that is expanding into areas that could prove politically explosive for both Trump and Congress. Committee members also hope that approving the resolution will dispel lingering confusion within the House Democratic caucus about how to describe the investigation.
