The House will begin public impeachment hearings Wednesday, but Republicans have yet to learn if any of their requested witnesses will be allowed to appear.
A top GOP aide described Republicans in “a holding pattern†as they wait to find out which witnesses House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff will approve.
“Additional witnesses will be announced this week,†the California Democrat told House members of his party in a memo sent out Tuesday.
Republicans sent a list of nine individuals to Schiff on Saturday that included Hunter Biden and the anonymous whistleblower, whose complaint about President Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the impeachment investigation.
A Democratic leadership aide said there is no new information about when Schiff will sanction witnesses.
