United States House Committee on the Judiciary
The Ohio Republican is an ardent defender of President Trump and served on his defense team during the Senate's impeachment trial.
The last time Republicans did this, in 1974, they voted in a committee to protect Nixon just before the release of the Watergate tapes. It didn't end well for them.
The GOP congressman will challenge fellow Republican Kelly Loeffler for the U.S. Senate seat.
The committee wants a federal appeals court to order former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify as it examines potential obstruction of justice by the president.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The House speaker said she has yet to read the full letter from the president, but from what she's seen, it's "ridiculous" and "sick."
The Senate majority leader turned down Democrats' calls for top White House officials for the Senate trial.
Dozens of Democrats who could be elected out have decided to vote later this week to impeach the president on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Some Democrats want the ex-Republican to be a House manager, arguing that a conservative helping present the argument for impeachment will help their case.
The full House floor vote on impeachment is expected before lawmakers adjourn for the holidays this month, setting up a Senate trial in January.
Approval of the two charges against the president would send the matter to the full House for a vote expected next week.
