Transcripts For CSPAN Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff On Upcoming Impeachment Hearings 20240713

As you may know already, we will begin open hearings in the impeachment inquiry next week. We will be beginning with testimony of ambassador taylor and ambassador kent on wednesday, and we will have testimony on friday. These will be the first of the open hearings and i think you will see throughout the course the moststimony important facts are largely not contested. We are getting increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the last year and the degree to which the president and listed whole departments of government in the illicit aim of trying to get ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent, as well as further Conspiracy Theory about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his reelection campaign. Those open hearings will be an opportunity for the American People to evaluate the witnesses for themselves, to make their own determination about the credibility of the witnesses, but also to learn firsthand about the facts of the president s misconduct. Along those lines, today we will be releasing the deposition transcript of ambassador taylor, so people can have the opportunity to read about that deposition as well. And what americans will see from that transcript is what they have seen from the others, gop claims to be locked out, unable to ask questions are simply false. In ambassador taylors deposition as well as every deposition republican members , have had equal opportunity with democratic numbers to ask whatever questions they would like. I think you will see in the transcript what a dedicated Public Servant ambassador taylor is, someone who graduated from west point, someone who is who served in vietnam, who is performing another Vital Service for the country in relating facts that came to his attention, the very disturbing facts that came to his attention. If we move forward with the open phase of the impeachment inquiry, we still have some remaining depositions to do and with that, we are going to head back. Thank you.
