Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has denounced the secretive nature of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) impeachment inquiry proceedings after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was denied entry into a closed-door deposition on Monday, Oct. 14.
Gaetz, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said House Democrats kicked him out of the closed-door deposition of Fiona Hill. Hill is the former special assistant to President Donald Trump and the National Security Council senior director for European and Russian Affairs. The Democrats reason—Gaetz is not a member of the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight committees—who are leading the impeachment probe, according to a CNN reporter.
