epa08044357 Director of Harvard Law School's Julis-Rabinowitz Program on Jewish and Israeli Law Noah Feldman (L); co-director of Stanford Law School's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic Pamela Karlan (C-L); professor of jurisprudence at the University of North Carolina School of Law Michael Gerhardt (C-R); and professor of public interest law at the George Washington University Law School Jonathan Turley (R) are sworn in before the US House Judiciary Committee hearing, 'The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump - Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment', in the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, DC, USA, 04 December 2019. The House Judiciary Committee, which has the job of formally drafting articles of impeachment, holds it's first open impeachment hearing following the adoption by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of a report drafted by Democrats that accuses US President Donald J. Trump of misconduct and obstruction. The report was drafted and adopted after a series of closed-door depositions and public hearings investigating a whistleblower's complaint alleging Trump requested help from the President of Ukraine to investigate a political rival, Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
