5:02Now PlayingRep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., questioned Noah Feldman, a Harvard law professor, Pamela S. Karlan, a Stanford law professor, Michael Gerhardt, a University of North Carolina law professor, and Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor on Dec. 4. The questioning came on the first day of public hearings by the House Judiciary Committee as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. In response to questions from Lofgren, Karlan said Trump’s conduct appears to be even worse than former President Richard Nixon because Trump asked a foreign government, as opposed to Americans, to investigate his political rivals. 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. The focus of the Judiciary hearing, which came after the House Intelligence Committee had hearings in late November, is to define grounds for a presidential impeachment.
