Televised Impeachment Hearings to Start Tomorrow
------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, televised impeachment hearings are slated to begin
Wednesday in the inquiry into whether President Trump withheld military
aid from Ukraine to pressure the Ukrainian president to investigate his
political rival Joe Biden and his son. It is only the third time in U.S.
history there have been televised impeachment hearings. On Wednesday,
the first two witnesses to testify will be George Kent, a deputy
assistant secretary of state, and Bill Taylor, a former ambassador and
the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine.
