Washington • An angry group of Republicans in October stormed a secure room in the Capitol where depositions were being taken in the House’s impeachment inquiry, shouting “Let us in! Let us in!”
The lawmakers refused to leave for hours and demanded to be part of the closed-door proceedings.
Rep. Chris Stewart, a Utah Republican who has been a vocal critic of the Democrats’ effort to impeach President Donald Trump, was there as the frustration boiled from Republicans incensed over the secretive nature of the hearings held in a basement room accessible only to a select few members of Congress.
