Intelligence Committee Chair adam schiff announced that public impeachment inquiry hearings will begin next wednesday. Chairman schiff good morning. The middle of the deposition involving ambassador career official at the state department. Im going to have to keep this brief. First of all, i want to thank ill for being here, for following the lawful subpoena we issued. We wish others would show the same courage and dedication to the law that ambassador hale is demonstrating here today. I want to let you know we will begin our open hearings in the impeachment inquiry week. We will be beginning with the testimony of ambassador taylor and ambassador kent on wednesday, and we will have anovich testifying friday in the first of the open hearings. I think he will thief you will see throughout the course of the testimony my not only their testimony but many others, the most important facts are largely not contested. We are getting an increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the the degree to which the president enlisted whole departments of government trying toicit aim of get ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent, as well as further Conspiracy Theory about the 2016 election that he would 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, make their own determinations 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 desire the deposition transcript of ambassador taylor so that people will have the opportunity to read that as well. And what americans will see from that transcript is what they have seen from the others, that the gop claims to be locked out, prohibited from participating, unable to ask the are simply false. Ask questions are simply false. Republicans have had equal opportunity with democratic members to ask any questions they like. You will see in the transcript what a dedicated Public Servant ambassador taylor is, someone who graduated from west point, someone who served in vietnam, someone who is performing another Vital Service for the in relating the facts that came to his attention, the very disturbing facts that came to his attention. So we move forward with the open phase of the impeachment inquiry. We still have remaining depositions to do, which we will be conducting over the next couple of days.
