The chairman of the judiciary committee, congressman jerry nadler, tells the president he has 24 hours to meet a deadline and six days to meet a second deadline. In a letter, nadler asked President Trump to let his committee know by sunday, tomorrow, if he plans to attend the hearings or to bring counsel. He also set a deadline for friday, december 6th, for the president to decide if he wants to call his own witnesses. In addition, nadler laid out, in this letter, the hearings agenda. It will have historical and constitutional basis of impeachment. That will be in the agenda. The framework through which the house will look at the evidence and whether the president s actions warrant drafting articles of impeachment. Now, the nadler letter comes as reporting from the Washington Post suggests that there is little to know evidence to back up Eu Ambassador Gordon Sondlands claim that he spoke with President Trump on the nowfamous september 9th cal
