What’s the story?

House Democrats are set to begin the first public hearings of their impeachment probe into President Donald Trump, something the commander in chief railed against on Friday.

\"They shouldn’t be having public hearings. This is a hoax,\" Trump said as he left the White House for events in Georgia. \"This is just like the Russian witch hunt. This is just a continuation.\"

Trump’s remarks contracted earlier statements by the White House and GOP lawmakers, who have been criticizing what, until now, has been closed-door hearings.
Three witnesses who gave private depositions to impeachment investigators - William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine; George Kent, the State Department's deputy assistant secretary handling Ukraine; and Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine - will testify next week.
\nThe 30-second recap: A whistleblower complaint, which led to a House impeachment inquiry, accuses White House officials of trying to conceal \"politically sensitive\" information about President Donald Trump's July 25th phone call with Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky. During the phone call, Trump asked Ukraine's leader to \"do us a favor\" and work with Attorney General William Barr and Trump's personal attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, to \"look into\" former Vice President Joe Biden and his family.
