Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan, brought in as an impeachment witness by House Democrats on Dec. 4, once said that she crossed the street rather than walk directly past a Trump hotel.

The unearthed video of Karlan’s comments came as she was heavily criticized for bringing President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son up during the public hearing. Karlan later apologized.
