New - Text of resolution to detail procedures in impeachment probe has been released. rules.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Key part - Staff counsels will be allowed to question witnesses for up to 45 minutes per side
The resolution also states that the minority may request witnesses to be called and issue subpoenas — but those subpoenas can only be issued " with the concurrence of the chair," meaning that Democrats would have to sign off on any Republican-led subpoenas.
WH given rights to cross-examine witneses, but resolution says, "If the President unlawfully refuses to cooperate with Congressional requests, the Chair shall have the discretion to impose appropriate remedies, including by denying specific requests by the President” or counsel
This part that gives the WH certain rights is part of the procedures before House Judiciary Committee, which Dems say is modeling its work after the Starr proceedings. The committee will conduct its proceedings once House Intel is done and once committees produce reports
Here are the additional procedures for how hearings will be conducted when impeachment moves to House Judiciary
