Democrats worry Rudy Giuliani would send Impeachment hearing off the rails

Lewandowski’s combative five-hour session before the House Judiciary Committee was a massive middle finger to Democrats, who afterward panned the hearing as a disaster

Newsroom September 26 05:38

If Congress is to get to the bottom of President Trump’s efforts to get the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, Rudolph W. Giuliani is an obvious choice for the witness list.

But Democrats are split as to whether he would do more harm than good to their nascent impeachment inquiry and some expressed concern that hauling in a loose cannon like Giuliani in front of a committee would risk a replay of the circus-like atmosphere created by Trump loyalist and former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski—a scene few Democrats are eager to recreate.
