Question about Nadler's impeachment hearing, assuming it comes to that.

A friend of a friend is claiming that for that Judiciary committee hearing, the R's will be able to call witnesses of their choosing -- so they will be able to call the WB to testify then. Is that true?

they have put the WB on their list but it's highly unlikely that it would be allowed. The WB is not all that relevant now and it would cause them to be in an altered presence* if they were forced to do so in order to protect them.

evidence is more than corroborated by far, therefore the WB is irrelevant.
