Roger Stone's trial, public impeachment hearings, and...
Top Democrats vowed on Sunday to begin disclosing key details of their confidential investigation into President Donald Trump.

“Starting this week, we are going to release these transcripts for people to see and read for themselves,” House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We will get to the bottom of this, and then we’ll be able to make a determination at that time whether or not something happened that was treasonous.”

Treasonous?
Clyburn (D-S.C.) added that the House would begin holding televised hearings in the next two weeks, signaling that Democratic investigators have secured enough evidence against Trump to proceed with a public rollout — even with the fate of certain witnesses’ testimony this week still uncertain.
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) added that investigators planned to interview their final witnesses this week, in what could be the last closed-door hearings.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), who sits on the House Intelligence panel, said she expected all of the transcripts to be released within the next five days.

Even as Democrats prepare to go public, investigators continue to battle the White House behind the scenes for access to key witnesses, such as national security aide Robert Blair — who participated in the July 25 call between Trump and the Ukrainian president — who has been blocked from appearing on Capitol Hill on Monday. Energy Secretary Rick Perry also said Friday that he won't testify, ignoring a congressional subpoena.
Democrats are also working to secure testimony from former national security adviser John Bolton — a potentially key player whom House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said Sunday believed had been subpoenaed.
