judiciary committee begins its hearings to possibly draw up articles of impeachment. here s what president trump had to say today. the ukrainian president came out and said very strongly that president trump did absolutely nothing wrong. that means the case is over, but he said president trump did absolutely nothing wrong, and that should end everything. but it will never end it because they want to do what they want to do. fox news chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill. is monday, here we go, a lot to get to. lawmakers are returning from what could be a very intense week, the scene will soon shift to judiciary where the top republican on the panel is of course doug collins of georgia. house judiciary s wednesday hearings expected to feature experts looking at the historical and constitutional basis for impeachment.
into their partisan corner and protect this president any and all costs is troubling to me, and i believe it is troubling to the american people. so far, witnesses for wednesday s hearing have not been announced. dana: thank you for so much. let s bring in fox news contributor, do you think it s a good decision for the trump white house not to send anybody to this hearing on wednesday connect close call, but i think the presidents made the right decision. they weren t consulted about the date of the hearings are the witnesses, they have no idea who the witnesses are. they ve been told publicly that this is going to be an examination of the issue of impeachment by experts if you are not going to be brought in and brought in as part of this process as we ve done under clinton s impeachment and under the nixon impeachment, i don t see that there s any reason for the white house to give a blessing to jerry nadler s opening session by saying of
