NEW: Rep. Adam Schiff delivers statement ahead of testimony from acting DNI Joseph Maguire. 'If we do not defend the nation, there is no Constitution—but if we do not defend the Constitution, there is no nation worth defending.'
Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire faced questions before the House and Senate Intelligence committees on Thursday about his handling of a whistleblower complaint that prompted House Democrats to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., another member of the panel, said the committee hopes to learn more about any conversations the acting director of national intelligence had with White House officials, including those who may have had a role in blocking the delivery of the complaint to Congress. Democrats have launched a formal impeachment inquiry over the complaint and Trump's comments during the phone call, in which he urged Zelenskiy to work with the Justice Department to investigate Joe Biden's son Hunter and his business dealings in Ukraine when his father was vice president.
I do not support impeachment of President Trump. I have just read the whistleblower complaint made available to House Intelligence Committee Members. I believe strongly in transparency and it should be immediately declassified and made public for the American people to read.
