WATCH: Rep. Matt Gaetz’s questions legal experts about their political leanings

Trump's first impeachment - 2020

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., questioned legal experts, who were witnesses in a Dec. 4 House Judiciary Committee hearing, about their political leanings. In a heated exchange with the witnesses, Gaetz questioned Noah Feldman, a Harvard law professor, Pamela S. Karlan, a Stanford law professor, and Michael Gerhardt, a University of North Carolina law professor, about their donations in support of Democratic presidential candidates as well as their previous comments that could be seen as antagonistic toward Republicans or President Donald Trump. 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.
