From NBC News, this is Article 2, Inside Impeachment.

I'm Steve Kurnaki.

Today is Monday, December 2nd, and here's what's happening. The Hill was pretty quiet over the holiday

weekend but Democrats say they want to vote on articles of impeachment before

Christmas and so they are kicking the process into high gear. What's the feeling on Capitol Hill about what this week is going to look like?

Well I think it's another buckle of your seat bell week.

Very busy newsweek, the impeachment push against President Trump will soon shift

from investigation to prosecution.

And there are three big things to know as this busy week begins.

First, the work in the House Intelligence Committee is done, and they are passing off a report on their

findings to the House Judiciary Committee. Second, with that report in hand, the

Judiciary Committee will hold its first public hearings this week. That will start on

Wednesday and meanwhile the White House is refusing to participate in the process that is

the third thing to pay attention to this week the Trump administration's strategy in all of this.

What do you want to do?

In the past you stand, one of your lawyers,

to represent your point of view

is for the House of Peace and England Because the whole thing is a hope.

Everybody knows it.

And you know it's a hope.

It's an absolute disgrace what they're doing to our country.

Today on Article II, we're covering all of it, the report, another round of hearings, and a president who won't bat down.
