1:35Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Pamela S. Karlan, a Stanford law professor, told the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 4 that President Donald Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate his political rivals puts national security at risk and threatens to make the U.S. look “hypocritical” as it tries to encourage democracy around the world. “If we look like we are asking other countries to engage in criminal investigations of our president’s political opponents, then we’re not doing our job of promoting our national interests and being that shining city on a hill,” Karlan said. The focus of the Judiciary hearing, which came after the House Intelligence Committee held hearings in late November, is to define the grounds for a presidential impeachment. The impeachment inquiry has revolved around a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
