Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee about a whistleblower's complaint that helped trigger a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
The Hill will be providing updates as the hearing unfolds beginning at 9 a.m.
Halls are packed nearly two hours before hearing
7:30 a.m.
Press cameras lined the hallways more than two hours before the high stakes hearing was set to begin.
Members of the public also began forming lines hours beforehand in the hopes they could hear Maguire speak about his handling of the whistleblower complaint.
Anti-Trump legal reinforcement on whistleblower case reminiscent of 2017 Russia windup
Opening statement by the witness.
Talking about the role of Congressional Oversight - is important.
So far, this is deep state mumbo jumbo.
Hopefully will get better.
Agree.
Nunes did great.
Slow and very deliberate.
Schiff taking action. Nunes flapping his gums.
????
You must be watching with your special CNN lenses.
Give us a break.
Nunes has no power. He’s in the minority. The focus is on the GOP in the House because the GOP Senate has no interest in supporting POTUS. In fact, their inaction is what enables Schiff.

Coats pick. Seems like a big zero so far. Now we see why the GOP Senate insisted on blocking Trump’s DNI MAGA pick. They kneecapped him. Again.
Because he is going to be unemployed and unemployable. Traitors cannot be trusted by anyone.
Complaint was filed a month ago. Once again Democrat coupists move against POTUS in weeks while we wait years for the GOP to even start investigations against criminal Democrats.
Maguire.... is blowing Schitt out of the water with his opening statement... he is doing a great professional truthful statement... something you do not ever hear in the political world of the senate and house. He is a breathe of fresh air... he don’t play. Go pound sand Schitt.
so impressed, NOT!, with Little Adams ability to completely rewrite the transcript.....Don’t call ME!. I’ll call you! when you have done what I ask!?!? What a lying sack of Schiff!!!

LOL. “I believe the whistleblower acted in good faith”
Sigh. Just talking about the rightness of notifying this committee about the whistleblower complaint.
Says the Whistleblower has followed the law.
Talking about the role of the Inspector General.
Said he referred this matter to the DOJ. Ugh.
Schiff and intelligence has to be the ultimate oxymoron.
Schiff. Putting himself in a I took action to get rid of Trump now Dems follow through and finish it.
Romney ites. I set it up you bring it home in the senate.
That’s my summary of the real goal of this kabuki theater
Schiff. Gets his cake and eats it too.
Schitt trying to get McGuire to say that POTUS committed crime.
McGuire not falling for it.
Maguire is pissed at being dis’d by Schiff. Good.
Schitt just keeps injecting lies into the dialogue.
Urgent because it was nefarious.
What a POS.
Schiff is hounding McGuire
Not for me to judge whether or not this complaint is a credible one.
But inspector general’s role is saying it is credible....
Sigh.
