Washington -- House Democrats are ramping up the impeachment inquiry with the first public hearings scheduled for Wednesday, raising the stakes of their investigation into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine.


The first hearing before the House Intelligence Committee will feature Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, a high-level State Department official. Both raised concerns over the administration's attempts to pressure Ukraine into investigating supposed Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election and a company that had employed Hunter Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden's son.
