Revelations at 1st impeachment hearing: Trump asked about Ukraine 'investigations'

The historic first public impeachment hearing ended Wednesday as Democrats hoped to make their case to millions of Americans watching on television that President Donald Trump's conduct has been so serious he deserves to be removed from office.

In his closing remarks, he praised members who he said had acted in a civil matter, despite what he said were the"strong feelings" in the room.After Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, spent his five-minutes defending Trump's actions and accusing Democrats of denying them the ability to question the whistleblower --"the guy who started it all" Jordan said -- Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., quickly responded.

Apparently, there will not be an additional round of questioning after this current five-minute round. After the members finish, Schiff and Nunes will have an opportunity to ask additional questions, and give closing statements.Kent:"I am a career nonprofessional who serves whatever president is duly elected ..."Taylor:"No, sir." https://t.co/U0mYKRJsjy pic.twitter.com/VKNMpYDjIUUnder questioning from Democratic Rep.

“In this impeachment hearing today where we impeach presidents for treason, bribery or other high crimes where is the impeachable offense in that call? Are either of you here to say there was an impeachable offense in that call. Shout it out. Anyone?” he said to no immediate response from Taylor or Kent.

Taylor agreed that he was not on the president's call in question himself and that he didn’t claim any firsthand knowledge, saying he doesn’t consider himself a “star witness” for anyone. In one exchange between the Republican investigator Castor and Taylor, he got Taylor to agree the backchannel for foreign policy involving the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, wasn’t “as outlandish as it could be.”

Rep. Devin Nunes kicks off Republican questioning at impeachment hearing by railing against Democrats and accusing them of mischaracterizing the Trump-Zelenskiy call:"What it actually shows is a pleasant exchange between two leaders." https://t.co/U0mYKRJsjy #ImpeachmentHearings pic.twitter.com/pxDtJWk5ZS

After 10 minutes, he kicked over questioning to Steve Castor, the chief GOP investigative counsel for the House Oversight Committee on loan to the Intelligence Committee for the impeachment hearings.
