4:08Now PlayingJonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, urged House lawmakers to look to history before they try to impeach President Donald Trump. Testifying before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Dec. 4, Turley cited the attempted impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. “I believe that this is much like the Johnson impeachment. It’s manufactured until you build a record. I’m not saying you can’t build a record, but you can’t build it like this, and you can’t impeach a president like this,” Turley said. The questioning came on the first day of public hearings by the House Judiciary Committee as part of the impeachment inquiry into Trump. The focus of the Judiciary hearing, which came after the House Intelligence Committee had hearings in late November, is to define the grounds for a presidential impeachment.
