The House Judiciary Committee holds the authority to proceed with impeachment, making the \u200dinformation Republicans gathered during the hearing crucial for Mayorkas, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-aide-walt-nauta-pleads-not-guilty-in-classified-documents-case\/\" title=\"Trump aide Walt Nauta denies guilt in classified documents case.\">sought legal representation<\/a> to navigate the GOP&#8217;s investigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Freedom Caucus member, Rep.
