We begin the program today with a conservative Republican congressman's reaction to the dramatic political developments of the past 24 hours.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) announced on Tuesday (24 Sept.) that congressional oversight hearings spread over six Democrat-led House committees would now constitute a formal inquiry into the impeachment of President Donald Trump. And a couple of hours before our broadcast Wednesday, the White House released what it described as an “unclassified memorandum” that summarizes a controversial call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25, 2019. The memorandum was prepared by note-takers who were listening to the call in the White House Situation room.
Congressman Andy Harris, a Republican lawmaker who represents Maryland’s 1st district in the U.S. House of Representatives, joins Tom on the phone from Capitol Hill to offer his perspectives.
