House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) sent a letter to the top Republican on the committee on Wednesday, asking him for the names of any witnesses the GOP wants to question as part of the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Schiff told Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), ranking member of the committee, that he has 72 hours to submit witness requests in writing, per the recent impeachment process resolution that House Democrats passed but was opposed by all GOP members and two Democrats. The letter (pdf<\/a>) misidentifies the date of Saturday as Nov. 8 when its actually Nov. 9.<\/p>\n

Democrats dont plan on having all the witnesses who testified behind closed doors testify in the upcoming public impeachment hearings so if Republicans want, they can request any of the witnesses to testify in public.<\/p>\n

Schiff said each request \u201cmust be accompanied by a detailed written justification of the relevance to the inquiry of the testimony of each requested witness.\u201d<\/p>\n
