President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is expected to appear before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday in what will be the panel's first high-profile impeachment hearing since former special counsel Robert Mueller testified
But it's not clear how much information the committee will gain from Lewandowski in what could be a combative hearing. The White House on Monday sent a letter to the committee that it was directing Lewandowski not to answer questions about his conversations with the President, beyond what was in the Mueller report.Lewandowski was heavily referenced in Mueller's report on obstruction of justice.
