Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a prominent Trump critic on the Republican side, said he would evaluate the hearings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly anticipate that when the time comes I will give this a very thorough dedication and evaluation,\u201d Romney said. He also added that he hadnt read any of the House-released transcripts of the depositions.<\/p>\n<p>Sen.

John Kennedy (R-La.) noted that \u201chaving been appellate law clerk and having practiced law for a while \u2026 its very very hard to judge witness credibility based on a transcript.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/11\/08\/Trump-departs-1200x879.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" alt=\"President Donald Trump departs for travel\" \/><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/11\/08\/Trump-departs-1200x879.jpg\" alt=\"President Donald Trump departs for travel\" \/><\/figcaption><\/a> President Donald Trump departs for travel to Louisiana from the South Lawn of the White House on Nov. 6, 2019.
