The House Judiciary Committee will a hold an impeachment hearing on Dec. 4. The committee announced the hearing while sending a letter to President Trump, inviting him and his counsel to attend the hearing and potentially question the witnesses.

The hearing is titled “The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment.”

“We expect to discuss the constitutional framework through which the House may analyze the evidence gathered in the present inquiry,” Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said in the letter. “We will also discuss whether your alleged actions warrant the House’s exercising its authority to adopt articles of impeachment.”
