The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will hold an open hearing Thursday with Acting DNI Joseph Maguire.
Committee Members are expected to question Maguire about the whistleblower complaint about President Trump’s call with the Ukrainian President.
Committee members had the opportunity on Wednesday to read the whistleblower’s complaint. Democrat Adam Schiff, the committee chairman, called it “very credible” and also “deeply disturbing.” Maguire had initially resisted turning the complaint over to Congress.
Live coverage of this hearing begins on WITF 89-5 93-3 and through our webstream at 9:00am. The hearing is expected to last about two hours.
