Sensenbrenner | S000244 | sensenbrenner.house.gov | legacy | By: Jeff Mordock of the Washington Times The ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee Thursday called for ChairmanJerrold L. Nadlerto hold a minority day of hearings, which would allow Republicans to call their own witnesses to testify before the panel. Rep.Doug Collinsof Georgia sent a letter to Mr.Nadler, New York Democrat, saying congressional rules require a hearing with witnesses held by the minority party ahead of drafting articles of impeachment. The requested minority hearing day must take place before articles of impeachment are considered by the committee, Mr.Collinswrote citing a House rule he described as clear and unequivocal. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee held its first impeachment hearing. During the hearing Mr.Collinsand Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin Republican, both urged the panel to schedule a minority day of hearings. Where is fairness? It was promised. It is not being delivered, Mr.Collinssaid. Mr.Nadler, New York Democrat, tabled the request for a later day. He concluded the hearing Wednesday saying he looked forward to discussing the Republican's request. Mr.Collinsinterrupted and told the chairman there is nothing for you to review. Mr.Nadlerignored the comment and started his closing remarks. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
