WATCH: Counsel Daniel Goldman’s full opening presentation | Trump’s first impeachment
Episode details
Episode description
Daniel Goldman, Democratic counsel for the House Intelligence Committee, told House Judiciary Committee members on Dec. 9 that President Donald Trump “abused the power of his office—the American presidency—for his personal political benefit.” Speaking during the second day of public hearings by the Judiciary Committee in the impeachment inquiry into Trump, Goldman laid out the Democrats’ case for impeachment and outlined the findings in an impeachment report put together by the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees. The impeachment case 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. Goldman argued that Trump made U.S. military aid to Ukraine and a White House meeting contingent on the announcement of those investigations. The Judiciary and Intelligence committees have led the probe, hearing testimony from witnesses and legal experts about Trump’s conduct.
