Just hours after dozens of House Republicans stormed a closed-door deposition in a secure area and disrupted Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, House Oversight Committee ranking member Jim Jordan kept the pressure on Democrats by pushing for more transparency — including public testimony from the whistleblower at the center of the probe.
